• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

And depending on direction of flight, I should be getting the double sonic boom around 10:40 this morning.

:wiggle:
 
I love NASA TV, but sometimes the narrator drives me nuts. They take so long to get to the point! For example, they’re about to brief us, their loyal viewers, on the weather status, and it invariably goes something like this:
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" /><o:p></o:p>
“This is the Space Shuttle Control room in Houston Texas where Space Shuttle Endeavor is preparing to return home at a planned landing time of 10:45 on orbit number 248 which is the first landing attempt at the Cape today for which the de-orbit burn will occur in about 35 minutes provided all conditions for landing have been met here at the Cape one of which is weather at the landing facility here at the cape this morning and while we were concerned about thunderstorms to the south of an imaginary circle 30 miles in diameter centered around the landing site here at the Cape these storms are not forming as rapidly as we had thought and they’re moving to the south at 10 miles per hour so they probably won’t be an issue for today’s first attempt at a landing today at the cape here today however we are looking at possible rain showers forming to the north…”

Then my head explodes. :d
 
Welp no boom over my place ... they musta come in from a different direction other than north of NASA. :(
