Well, so much for my suggestions to include links to the landing tracks and radar. I believe you were sleeping through the last thread when people were looking for that info. Much more important to just throw much of nothing in breaking hours early just for your kicks and giggles.

"What's up with starting these "LIVE" threads hours in advance?"

Only 29 orbits in eight days?

I was up at 3:30 and watching NASA-TV. When the sun came up, I was getting ready to go to work. The whole east coast had a dark grey cloud hanging over the coast. It was a damned hot muggy day from then until now.

They haven't ever landed at White Sands before, have they?

Yes. Once and it was a mess. Gypsum sand was stuck in everything.

My mistake for thinking that a thread should have useful information for the readers.

It's a write-off, Jerry, and they're the ones who are doing it.

The point was to put the info in the header-body of the thread for easy access, rather than trying to trip back through hundreds of posts. You specifically ignored my suggestion to you twice...then you didn't even spell check your two sentence thread. Pathetic.

I flew from Orlando to Des Moines this afternoon (on Allegiant, or whatever the hell they call it) and at one point, over north Florida, it bucked so hard, the woman sitting next to me was hugging the seat in front of her.
