Let's try this again..
Round trip to & from space. Then the operation of what?...a catpult of some sort. Heck, I’ll do it for merit pay. Where and when is lift off?
Not too shabby for short notice but I’ve been practicing with airplanes at night. I see I have a lot of crap on my lens as well.
I’ll just post the links because the pics are 10mp each. The first is as it appeared and the next two are almost directly overhead.

I’ll get this stuff down eventually with a lot of tral and error.
Nice job! Did you get one of each or are these just one or the other?
We’ve got another 45 minutes before seeing them here. Last night, we could see them both in the sky at the same time. Tonight, they look to be about 2 minutes apart, about the length of time they’ll each be visible.
Good job...
I’d have to look them up again. I got them at about 8:30 from Jackson county Michigan. They are all the same object headed from WSW to ENE
Or send the junk to the Moon and start your on salvage yard on the Moon. Sanford and Son...in Spaaaaaaaace.
The world’s most expensive VFR only airplane.

It was really bright. Shuttle wasn’t as bright or entertaining as last night.
Discovery just passed over my house.
VERY cool. I’ll be back outside at 10:08 to watch it pass again.
I sure like it.
I once thought of sending our nuclear wastes ino the Sun, but then wondered if even so little heavy stuff just might screw with the mix and we’d really have global warming.
Though beside the practical aspects of Earth-orbit salvage and it’s value to humankind overall, there’s also the adventure of “just” being in space.
Might we be any closer to God there, but for the sheer contemplation during down-time? For here we can go inward too...though I think we’ll never reach the Planck scale, thus to see if strings are real.
Inner and outer space.... As Shakespeare somewhere said, “I would thou coulds’t.”
All Good to You and Yours....
That rocket test was awesome.
Saw it live on Fox.
Unbelievable power.
I am really glad the thing didn’t explode.
Didn’t that test happen just a few days after zero announced cutting the moon project?
The enviroloons probably went apeshit after seeing that.
:)
Very cool.
:)
Now I have that theme music in my head.
Edwards at 8:53 edt
I don’t think it will land. I have stopped believing in space shuttles. They’re an internet myth I tells ya.
Is there such a thing as "shovel ready" in space?
