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

Re: The Space Shuttle / ISS Thread
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?
