Thanks for the updates. It is so very cool.

My son, who is 6, recently asked "Is infinity an even or odd number?"

He's a leftie and loves math :)

Cheers!

* snickering like Mutley here over that one *

this all sounds very exciting tom.
altho i don't understand the lingo much, it's still exciting.
i look forward to your updates and tidbits.

thanks.

Okay, since Tom is steering clear of this one, my guess is that it was an unofficial "secret/special" communication to a girlfriend or family member of whoever said it.

So, Tom, on the next landing, make them say for me, "I fell of the turnip truck.":D:cool:

Actually, I just keep forgetting to ask when I'm with one of the astronauts. It's kinda stupid - I'm in a meeting daily with at least a couple of them.

When did ya hear it said? Was it by chance when they waved off the first landing? I'm thinking CAPCOM astronaut on the ground saying it...

Tom

It was during control communications in the last 5-10 minutes of the landing. I think the transmission came from the Endeavor, not the ground. Thanks!

this is so cool thanks tom for taking time to fill us in on info, and facts

how are you meanding? still doing well I hope

Infinity is 42.

Jail key is an Irish ale.

Any more questions?

:D

Blame it on the Italians - it's fun to watch them when they're mad. They argue with their hands.

Thanks for the update, and for keeping the space thang rockin'.

:cool:

Dates changed today - STS-124 moves to VAB 4/26, to pad 5/3. 2 day bump. Launch is still 5/31. We got the foam issues resolved early.

Tom

Hmpf. I thought that 42 was the meaning of life!
