Amazing video via NASA today as they try to fix the loose 'padding' between the tiles. Hope it all goes well.

Take a look at the live feed:

noops

thanks for posting
watching the return to earth by now



edit:
Discovery landed safe

Hooray !!

What a great landing
Too bad it was night time
But it was great to see it land safely after the loss of Columbia

Yeah glad they got home safe. I was lucky to see one land in Florida in 2002, they come in incredibly steep and very fast. Here's a couple of pictures I took at the time. Ambition is to go back sometime and watch a launch.

noops

What a complete waste of tax payers money!!!

Don't hold back will you!

noops

nice pics mate!!,,, glad they are safe!

hehe and,, wtf do you care,, your not living in the great USA!!

err...

no. well. maybe. hmmm.
im all for manned space exploration, but the shuttle costs way to much. nasa needs to hire burt rutan pronto.

and just as an aside....that international space station was a fabulous idea!
At least Bush has a safe hiding spot now!

actually thats his planned lunar base.

just fyi, it was clinton who originaly funded the station, not bush.

Shouldn't the 2.5billion pounds needed for that mission have gone to Niger in Africa.

Shouldn't we fix our own world before we go searching for others???

agree, and we shouldn't be that dumb to search for others... they will come to us as we see a lot of UFO's

btw... we already know there should be intelligent life somewhere else, imagine how large space is

errrm.... hate to say this but... (from the BBC)

lack of UFOs


"The county's branch of British UFO Hunters says it responded to 60 reported sightings in 2003 - so far this year there have not been any."

It's gone all quiet out there....

have read about it earlier this week,

I guess they knew about the terrorist attacks

aaah but this was in Cumbria (Lake District - near Scotland) and no where near London.

happy birthday noops... how old are you now.. 99 ??

yep - big 100 next year!

The shuttle's flight on a 747 to florida is half way thru. It is now in Lousiana and will be there till the weather on the way to Florida clears up.
