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

God speed Discovery!

The last landing a KSC, I noticed a nose camera on (Atlantis, I think) with some great video 10 seconds from touchdown. Wonder if Discovery has the same setup.

01:41 am here, which will make tomorrow a long day.

Looking forward to it all....Bob

Does anyone have a link to a website showing the trajectory Discovery will take?

Toilet deactivation at 3:08, man that's rough! I hope they've already stopped beverage service.

There are links in ...

Vanity - viewing discovery reentry, 8/8/05

Unless you are in Central America, on a boat or rig
in the Carribean, or a guest at Club Gitmo, there
won't be much to see.

They wear relief tubes and diapers.

I hear Air France is going to offer diapers on future flights.

Dam garbage truck are always making noise at that hour anyway. Since they are hauling a butt load of trash from the space station they shouldn't any different!
