Ain't it a beautiful looking rocket. Sleek.

[michaellxv]

It is indeed. Makes the shuttle look overweight.

[jjjnettie]

A Flying Brick compared to the Ares.

"The launch team has extend the T-4 minute built-in hold further, now bringing the possible liftoff time to 9:24 a.m. EDT.

Weather continues to be the issue of the day, and the launch window extends until noon.

During this hold, the launch team will receive weather verification, the Launch Authority Team will be polled for a "go" or "no-go" for launch, and the launch test director will conduct the final launch status verification."


Meaning 11:30pm (12:30am DST) at the earliest.



Still ill stick around for now and hope.

You guys are crazy. The Shuttle is the sexiest craft ever built. :P

To think it was designed and built in the 70s.

I miss it already.

You have the Shuttle mixed up with the Concorde H. :lol:

[jjjnettie]

I was staying at my cousins house near London, he lived under the flight path to Heathrow.
Whenever the Concorde flew over it was like WOW.:eyepop:
( he also lived within sight of the Battersea Power Station, another WOW object)

Saturn rocket > Shuttle

Nah i like the shuttle, but for me this is exciting because its new and i am old enough to see it for what it is. i was just a younging when the shuttle started.

[michaellxv]

They are all pretty spectacular at launch. Especially at night.

Looking at this as the next 'advancement' we are a loooong way from the Star Trek style shuttle up to the Enterprise.

[FredSnerd]

They're talking, they're talking. Can you hear that. So kool

[jjjnettie]

ha ha , they snagged the cover.

[FredSnerd]

So when they do the roll call should we say "ready" too. Maybe their waiting for us. Do ya think?

[GTB_an_Owl]

hate to see nasa getting a kid ready for school of a morning

snag a tarp over the probe
let a ship into a no go zone
then there is talk of one of their weather warning aircraft running out of fuel and having to return to base

now it will probably be another hour before launch

fair dinkum !

geoff

It's either going to fly or go BOOM.
