Just watched the shuttle launch...

OK so I can remember the first space launch by the US.....

staggering statistic. the shuttle burns 1/2 ton of fuel per second.
I wonder if Scott has some injectors to do that

they are bringing up two essential items.
the first is the next section of the space station which is the size of a school bus.

The second is a new pump for the toilet......

Monday afternoon the shuttle and space station will be hooked up.

hopefully it will be clear to get some good viewing. It will now be the third brightest object in the night sky.

 

Hope that toilet works, hate to have shit fall from the sky. Our resident seagulls already have that job locked down.

 

can you see the space station with the naked eye?

 

Yes, there was a link on here a while ago showing where and when to look. Im sure someone will be by to post it up for you.

 

nasa viewing link

 

Yeah, it's very bright and very fast.
