Global village of space?

That's a new one.

Interesting timing between 01101001 and Swift. First subsonic, then a boom. Guess who types faster?

That view breaking through the low cloud layer was fabulous.

Good to see that beast and its crew on the ground!

Go Endeavour in about three weeks!

reminds me of taking pictures off my television screen in 1981 as Columbia landed (STS-1).

Just like it was, as if yesterday!

AAARRRGG. It's irritating enough to have all those pictures in the thread...do you have to compound it by a factor of 2?

I watched this at school thisa morning (I talked my firdst period teacher into letting me). I watched the launch in the same class when I had it 4th period last trimester. I liked watching it better w/ the honors english class occurs at the same time as my Journalism class, they didn't ask questions like, "is it going to explode, or what planet is going to, etc."

GoogleSatTrack 2 - STS-122 Special Edition

So... I was watching it during the landing and it was pretty clear they were just displaying predicted orbital track instead of actual position, when the shuttle turned to pass west of Cuba while the tracker showed it passing right over Cuba. That's when I gave up and closed that window. (I can't recall, though, if it was displaying Atlantis docked with ISS or not. Maybe they had it undocked at least. Maybe.)

But, I just checked to see if the tracker still had an orbiting Atlantis well after landing, and, no, it had been updated to show a static shuttle sitting on Cape Canaveral.

Still, it has an ISS mode.
