Well since the Space Shuttle is landing at 4:45 am, I figure I start a live thread now (I won't be awake)...

Nope .. sure isn't .. this from space.com's page:

Discovery’s only landing target Monday is NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC) in Cape Canaveral, Florida, where it launched spaceward on July 26. While the orbiter is slated to land at 4:46 a.m. EDT (0746 GMT) on Aug. 8, it could also land 5:21 a.m. EDT (0921 GMT) if weather prevents the initial attempt.

Both KSC and a contingency runway at Edwards Air Force Base in Southern California will be on call Tuesday if needed, shuttle officials said, adding that a third airstrip in White Sands, New Mexico is also a landing option.

Listening to Art Bell (George Noory tonight since, now every first Sunday, he will be on. Why? Well, guess Art Bell doesn't feel like working more), they just finished talking about...evidence of moon archeology.

...

ANYWAYS, hope for a safe landing!

Oooh--if they can't land first pass, second attempt takes them directly over Tampa Bay. That's my preference...hehehe

I heard him after Drudge when he had KFI's "John Ziegler" on pushing his "Death of Free Speech" book. Noory didn't explain earlier why he was doing first Sunday shows now.

After the callous "cartoons" the Islamofascists made about Columbia's disintegration in 2003, I hope it wakes up every damned one of those jackwits and fills them with the stark dread that Tom Tancredo went ahead and nuked Mecca.

Not that I bear any resentment or anything...
