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

Thanks for the Snow info. I'll look in. Lots of shows at that time. Got Bill Bennett's program up in 45 minutes. I hope he's back.

Eileen Collins, "Opening payload bay doors"

[newzjunkey]

Thanks for herding the cats on the thread tonight. Hope you'll consider doing it again Tuesday morning. :)

Thank you, Prime...for being such a gracious host and making us all feel welcome!

Thanks for making me feel so welcome. And thanks especially to everyone for your prayers. It's my pleasure to share what I could with all of you while doing the very thing I wanted to do since I was a young lad.

"Godspeed, Discovery."

Amen to that Starwise!

Ok who had the streaming feed of the cartoon network?

Obviously, you know my users and developers.

I wonder what they do when they have an extra day in orbit.

C-SPAN was similcasting NASA-TV. Now that they have scrubbed for today, C-SPAN is going to replay Rich Lowry's address before the Young America's Foundation on Friday. I've already seen it. It's worth a second look for me.

[newzjunkey]

Thanks for checking in! Stay safe over there.

[The Westerner]

They contemplate your tagline:) Goodnight.

"Copy that Discovery, you are opening the payload bay doors."

[Michael Goldsberry]

Darn!

[NautiNurse]

I'm interested in the graphic tracks.

[newzjunkey]

Sorry, misread what you were asking for. Need caffeine.

Thank you all for alerting me to when and where things were glitching. This is of enormous help in making things more accessible to everyone and it's greatly appreciated.

LOL. Goodnight.

Not sure.

I know what I'd be doing... looking out the window for the whole time!

[Textide]

Thanks for the info on this thread.

Any insight on what the crew will be doing for the next 24 hrs, other than the 'go-around' checklist?

Do what everyone else does when doing an extended stretch at work: take care of paperwork! :o)

[Prime Choice]

Take care of paperwork (logs, incident reports, journals, etc). Tinker with minor pet projects. Play games. Stargaze. Eat. Nap. That sort of thing.
