    In the spirit of the launch all posts should end with a beep just like on nasa TV.

    *beep*

    It's basically an enormous firework. The odds of it going **BANG** are about 100/1. Any takers?

    I like to watch the launches on Fox News...

    Normally Fox is for entertainment purposes only but they get so much more excited and enthusiastic at the shuttle launches than CNN...

    Almost makes me want to be an American....(sniff..)

    Go Endeavour!

    Hi all,

    Space Shuttle Visible Tonight 15/07/09


    The Space Shuttel Endeavour ( STS-127 ) will be visible tonight if the scheduled launch due at 23.03PM Irish time goes ahead, she will pass over Ireland 18 minutes later at 23:21PM and will be a very bright star moving very fast also visible will be the two EF Booster tanks following behind the shuttle as they will have jettisoned from the Shuttle a few minutes earlier.


    The launch itself will be shown on Sky News on TV, but i suggest you get out to see her overhead after so be outside from 23:18PM onwards if it's a clear sky as this will be a rare opportunity to see the Booster Jets behind the Shuttle herself, this is not to be missed. She will approach from a SW Direction so look towards Galway.


    ENJOY!
    This space shuttle has a gender?

    Of course not. Endeavour is a post-op transsexual.

    You give objects girls names. This has been the case from the dawn of modern English language and possibly even before that too.
