MF42 0 #1 July 17, 2006 Space shuttle Discovery is scheduled to begin its de-orbit burn in less than an hour, provided weather at the landing site stays good. They're concerned about a developing thunderstorm that might move too close. Watch it on NASA TV. Of the choices listed, I think windows media has the smoothest streaming video.

kbordson 8 #3 July 17, 2006 OK... one of the few times it would be nice to have cable. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MF42 0 #4 July 17, 2006 Gotta agree with you there. But televised events actually worth watching are so very rare, I just can't see paying for cable. Shuttle lands in about an hour! Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MF42 0 #6 July 17, 2006 Oh! I thought she was saying it would be nice to have a better picture than the streaming video; that's what I agreed with. Yeah, click on the NASA TV link and you can watch what's going on there. Mach 24.9 baby! Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arlo 0 #19 July 17, 2006 we actually went outside to listen for the sonic boom but never did hear it. :( congratulations to nasa on a successful landing!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydiverbrian 0 #20 July 18, 2006 Quotelisten for the sonic boom but never did hear it I heard it great from my house. Only a couple minutes before touchdown... it sounded like a thunder boom minus the usual 'clap' that comes at the end of thunder. That and the windows shook a little. Pretty cool. In a world full of people, only some want to fly... isn't that crazy! --Seal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
