Maid-en Space

lord lucan

Heavy Metal band Iron Maiden got the grand tour of JSC the other day. And their guide was none other than Ynotdu's mate Mike Massimino.:pac:

Apparently they're big fans of the space programme.

It also gives me the chance to post up the Max-Q video of STS-125 which combines 2 of my loves,Spaceflight & Heavy Metal.:)

Well thank You LL for making it a 125 video,My favourite one since the RTF!
as Beeker would say Iron Maiden are "Lucky B@stards":D

125 for its crew bonding,its crew ingenuity,its crew courage of bringing the Orbitor to the very limits a Shuttle can reach and no ISS to run to.

They often found solutions to the many problems the five EVA's encountered that NASA did not think of!:D

The flirting between Megan and Mike!:D
The entire crew giving MC Loads:D
and all for a Telescope that was not designed to be serviced! but was anyway when the first images showed Hubble "Should have gone to Specsavers"!
Made it as shortsighted as Augustine Obama and Bolden{Who if he was not on the flight who delivered Hubble,was defo on a servicing mission}

The Awesomeness of seeing an object the size of a double decker bus being captured and parked in the cargo bay and when the spacewalks were over the greatest telescope ever built which has thrilled the world with its images was a far superior instrument to the object that left Earth twenty years ago,thanks to the crew of 125!

Here is My favourite Mike Massimino 'Moment' of all time,just a 69 second video but don't miss his comment right at the end!:D
