Preserved Topic: Space Shuttle (Page 1 of 1)

For those interested but not yet aware.

CNN this Sunday evening will air "From landing to take off" What it takes to get the shuttle up and down... just how old it really is etc.

I'm hoping this is going to be something more than 'fluff' because they're claiming 10 months worth of 'shooting'... another 8 months of editing. So it *better* good.

Caught one of anacronyms some of the 'nasa' workers use "SNERT"

Schedule-Never-Equals-Real-Time. Be using that myself.

I've been keeping track of most of the launches, dockings, and landings on NASA TV. It's really been interesting to watch them work in space and realizing it's not as easy as they make it look. The camera work is good too, they have a helmet-cam so what their hands are doing is visible.

It's all quite amazing really. Just can't imagine what it's like sitting atop that 'candle' when she goes off. But I'd do it in a *heartbeat*... & it probably would the last one <BG>

Sorry for the delay getting back... just now back up and running after doing the dreaded *Format C* Very ugly but had to be done.

Just now d/l 'mozilla' Max recommends... hopefully not too much grief ahead on that one.

Look up... waaaay up!
