Barry Ashcroft Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 NASA Fascinating website. nasa have four modified gulfstream jets with full working shuttle cockpits for flight training. I think they spend a few quid !! Quote
Blatman Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 It'll be shown live on CNN/Fox/SKY/News 24/ITN News etc etc. I doubt there'll be much chance of missing it... Quote
studbuckle Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I can get ITN news..... I'm currently watching NASA tv though Quote
Frau Vesty Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 What time BST is lift off? Yes I know I could search, but one of you probably already knows Quote
Blatman Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 There's a countdown timer on the NASA "Return to flight" site... Quote
Blatman Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 And now I have that damn Countdown (Channel 4, not Apollo...) jingle in me head... AaAaAaAaAaRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRrRgGgGgGgGgGgGgHhHhHhHhHhHhH Quote
Frau Vesty Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Countdown timers involve the use of maths to translate that into time But the BBC news site just told me it's 8.51pm BST Quote
Blatman Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 Countdown timers involve the use of maths to translate that into time I expected better from you, to be honest... All that hanging around the house is obviously making you lazy. I'll get Vesty to find you some ironing to do Quote

a4gom Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I believe there is 5 hours in it, i.e as I type this its 06:45am in Florida so work it out from that.Cape Canaveral Web Cam Gotta say I've seen it live and its absolutly brilliant, the noise is amazing and we were 5 miles away, also the way the shuttle appears to be rolling over to come back down as it goes away into space due to the spin of the earth. I believe there are some members out there at the moment, I hope they will be there for the launch, well worth the trip, something you will never forget. Quote
Lurksalot Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 ah well dodgy fuel sensors are a running theme on this website Quote
