    Yip the APU's refuse to switch off,somebody needs to cut the cables to our LCA's :D

    The reason for the last two flights being at night time is NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden does not want to be seen!:)

    I was about to ask, are the flames normal?

    @NASA
    The pulsing flame and smoke is normal. It is Endeavour's auxiliary power units venting.



    Good to know! I'm glad I wasn't the only curious one! :)
