If they didn't delay it the last two times, I would've been there to see it. D: |

Endeavor is flying an International Space Station assembly mission which will deliver the last two elements of Japan's Kibo Module along with the Spacelab Pallet-Deployable 2, and an Integrated Cargo Carrier-Vertical Light Deployable. |

That's what space probes are for. |

I nominate that this thread be about all current space missions from all space agencies in the world, not just upcoming NASA launches. |

Figured I'd explore this forum a bit. |

That's pretty awesome, blueline. What I wouldn't give to be on one of those flights. |

You can hear the sonic boom from near the cape? I thought it would've slowed down way before that. It's a shame I'll never see a shuttle launch in person, I don't think NASA will be flying anything quite so loud in the future. I'm also disappointed that future NASA vehicles will be more like the old school rockets instead of re-usable plane-like spacecraft. Consider yourselves lucky to have seen the shuttle! |

Yeah, we can usually hear it from where I am in Deltona, but I'm guessing it's only when they approach from the North? I dunno. Today was one of the first times I was actually anticipating the sonic booms (it usually catches mt off guard), but we didn't get it out here. I know that sometimes the humidity and cloud-cover plays a role, but it was a clear day today. I know they approached the south side of the runway, but what I don't really know is whether or not they do that all the time. |

Got home from work just in time to snap this pic of Discovery's final launch. If they didn't delay the launch for those three minutes, I probably would have missed the whole thing. I love that the fire trail is visible in the picture. |

Clear this up for me: Is the Space Program still going to be operating for years to come or are they shutting it down? |

They're shutting 'er down. |

Endeavour will be the last shuttle mission, unless NASA approves/funds/schedules Atlantis for one final mission. Endeavour is scheduled for a launch in April. |
