SHUTTLE LAUNCH countdown... LESS THAN 5 HOURS

Wow! This thread slide down the front page pretty zippy like.
Here's an old bumperoo to give it a chance.

I'll have to check the clouds and see if it's clear here. I might stay up and watch it.

I'm not sure this is very sewsworthy... no big deal. Or am I missing something?

hopefully all duct tape is on its place.

jeez...i gotta stay up again??



oh well, launches kick ass ^_^

Deja Vu


~

For most.. probably not. But if it were to blowup I can guarantee everyone would be all over this subject. People are so cryptic.

I posted because there are some people out there like me that enjoying watching the launches. I live about 1 hour north of the launch site and I get a great view from my front yard. The night launches are spectacular! And.. this may be the very last night launch ever.

So.... you can be a fuddy dud and I'll be enjoying a beautiful show.

yup

lol right? Let's hope the foam holds up this time.

nice! Thank you!

I know what you mean... last night/this morning they waited until the last possible moment to scrub the launch. What a bummer to stay up and wait for nothing. I've got a good feeling about tonight though. Weather is better and so far they are green on all stops.

Launch is set for 4:14am EST. I forgot to mention the time zone in my first post.

:0)

thnaks for the reminder.

It didn't launch?

Now I don't feel as bad. I was awake when it was supposed to go up, but was too much of a lazy-ass to get out of bed.

Maybe I'll make it this morning...or not

:)

here's to a safe flight for Endeavour!

You can do it! :)

I'll drink to that!

From the link above....

"the battery just exploded!" We've got battery acid all over the place!"

Well, I have no idea which battery they are talking about but that doesn't sound good.

eeek! Guys asking for baking soda for the acid.

you know I probably will, being the closet science geek I am.

Is there going to be a thread for the launch, or will we use this one?

I ask only so I know how many Bloody Marys and how much champagne I'll need for the mimosas I'll be serving at launch time.

T - 2 hours 34 mins

they just said something about how too many people are listening. One guy told the other to "check it out" and get back with him on another frequency.

Cloudy here. Saw it go over work a year ago, people thought we were nuts, but then it came across.

Thanks for the RR link.

Since I'm still up, the odds are good I'll stay up for the launch

What is the mission?

astronauts will not be on board as this is a planned mission failure. look for a repeat of challenger with this one.

And you base this on.....

I will reveal my source after the event occurs

I'm SOOOOO staying up..




Sorry to say I've never watched one live..

Sure you will...

How about this, after the launch is successful, you tell us?

That is, if you'll even be around for the launch
