Wouldn’t be surprised if the Idiot in Chief cancelled NASA manned missions in the near future. Gotta find a way to pay off the rest of his voters and all that NASA money would buy a lot of votes
The Discovery Channel will be doing ‘live’ programming of this mission in HD. I am looking forward to the shows.
God speed and good luck, Atlantis. You have a hand full!
just my opinion, but,
taking care of the Hubble is the only useful thing
the shuttle program does.
nice, that they apparently have found astronauts
that are brave enough to fly into space.
not all that long ago, NASA thought that flying into
space was unsafe.

My sister, nephew, and niece...plus grandnieces and grandnephews drove over this AM. They staked out their viewing spot at 9 AM and the only other word I’ve heard is that it’s “REALLY HOT.” We’re on the West Coast and can usually see the shuttle launches, but there looks like lots of low lying clouds, once it’s above the level of the clouds maybe we’ll catch a glimpse.
Hubble: a time machine that revolutionized astronomy
