Congrats to the Discovery Team!
Now that Discovery and crew are safe on deck, the NASA team can get busy, and figure out this foam issue so we can get Atlantis in the air next month. I would not want to place a bet in Vegas but let's see if all of that brain power at the Cape can come up with a solution.. One
Discovery delayed for 24 hours!
The Space Shuttle Discovery landing has been delayed for 24 hours due to uncertain weather conditions at the Kennedy Space Center.
The Next Generation of Heavy Lift Space Vehicles
I think the plan as outlined in the linked New York Times article is dead on. I have always wondered why NASA had gone away from heavy lift vehicles, and it's nice to see that they are back on the drawing board. I hope that they proceed with the design as outlined and build em fast. [New York Times]
A unique water solution for space!
Lets just say NASA is going to be looking at recycling some water in space. The source is not what you would expect. [Wired]
NASA does repair under Shuttle!
NASA is in the middle of the spacewalk to not only work on the ISS but also to go under the space shuttle. [NASA]
NASA better safe than sorry
I just can not get over the fact that we have flown as many Shuttle flights as we have, and only 1 flight after the Columbia disaster they want to go down their and pull out some spacers. This just blows me away. The question I want answered is how many previous shuttle missions have come come with this spacer
Second Spacewalk at ISS for Shuttle Crew
The second of 3 planned space walks took place today and the ISS now has it's full compliment of Gyroscopes replacing one which had failed in 2002. With the shuttle fleet fate unknown the crew needs to get as much work done as possible on the ISS thus the Shuttle is going to extend it's stay by one day. [BBC]
An Asteroid that is getting some close attention!
Were you gonna be in 2036 so long as I take care of myself I should be enjoying my retirement. That is unless a asteroid comes by and messes my day up. [Christian Science Monitor]
Have a 100 Million dollars you can go to the Moon
Just think about it you have 100 million dollars laying around in your checking account, and you decide you want to go to the moon. So all you have to do is call the Russians and they will build you a spaceship that will take you to the moon and back. Now if you want to land you better dig
NASA grounds the entire Shuttle Fleet!
NASA is taking this business of stuff falling off the shuttle and fuel tank pretty darn serious. But what suprises me is that tiles have come off before. If I remember correctly they have some fudge room if they loose a couple of tiles. But the external fuel tank is another story they are not at all happy about that.
NASA aims for July 26th Discovery Liftoff
Let's keep our fingers crossed that they can make that date, hopefully this sensor issue is behind them. I personally have experienced the pressure of getting equipment fixed so something important could take place but nothing even close to this scale can you imagine the heat that had to be on the engineers. I always hate it though when your
