The Space Shuttle / ISS Thread
 
After an aborted attempt on Friday to launch Atlantis (STS-122), they are going to attempt another launch tomorrow.

Hopefully the ECU sensors will work correctly tomorrow.

I want to see humans on Mars during my lifetime....but I don't think I'll get to see that day!

I have quite a long list of humans I'd like to see on Mars, right now.

Who would know..Seems like what some Archbishop says about application of some aspects of Muslim religious law or who is going to represent both sides in the US presidential race is far more interesting than space exploration these days. :(

Unfortunately the only thing that makes it 'interesting' for the masses now is when something blows up.

Not here it won't be ... barely 20 degrees above the horizon for me. Still, I'll have a look. :)

It was a clear sky, but I couldn't see it. The sky is still a bit bright - perhaps that explains it? :(
