Post #260,843 by Simon_Jester 7/5/06 10:41:25 PM Reply	Apologies.....I was trying to agree with you. and did a piss-poor job. :-) I've always been on edge watching the Shuttles go up...particular at full throttle up. There's some very nice videos of normal rockets (Delta) blowing up spectacularly just as it started to clear the tower. (I know of older ones that did nice loops). It's up...and safe. And if there were foam damage (I doubt it on this launch) they've got a plan for the astronauts (another good thing). This was a good launch. (BTW: Foam Bad..... :-)

There's a really good IMAX film of the space station with some teeth-shaking shots of the shuttle going up. Very powerful. Regards, -scott anderson "Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson..."

Post #260,860 by drewk 7/6/06 9:00:52 AM Reply	You know what would really suck? They find some light damage on the tiles and decide it's too risky to try to bring it back in. They remote-control it down and rush the backup to the space station for a pickup. Then they find not-light damage on those tiles. I really hope the guys running things have thought through that timeline better than the hairspray model who was reading it on TV. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].
