Space shuttle flight to Smithsonian ready for takeoff
Interesting details on some of the flight characteristics of the Shuttle Carrier Aircraft when it is mated with a shuttle orbiter. (www.spaceflightnow.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
It is a fitting end to a well traveled and famous aircraft, BUT, on one of the actual story comment it references to a blog as to why Houston didn't get one of the shuttles. Reason: City management and a city that just ASSUMES things and/or just don't care. They ASSUMED they would get a shuttle because JSC was there and didn't try and nail it down, just like they ASSUMED that the Continental corporate office would stay there because they were the dominant carrier in the merger. By there inaction 1500 or so people are or will be looking for a job. Someone down there needs to wake up. IMHO
NASA provided excellent live HD video coverage on their website. Listening to Live ATC at the same time was awesome. CNN's anchors proved themselves to be complete morons!
Sounds like a T38 is a little low on gas.
gear down!
CNN has some good live video for those of us not in Washington; http://www.cnn.com/video/flashLive/live.html?stream=stream1
