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

OK, I'm just digging out from a mound of paperwork.

I saw a blurb on TV in the chow hall.

Without reading through all these posts (sorry - time constraints), can anyone tell me what the projected landing time is now and where?

Thanks!

Spot check. Everything looking okay on items of interest on NASA.GOV? Please advise if any errors, difficulties connect, et cetera...or if everything's working well.

...Why was Columbia coming over the west coast? ...

Wasn't an ISS mission.

Checking in - been lurking all night. Going to be unhappy with myself later this AM since I am getting too little done tonight. ;)

Quick update my perspective of the shuttle landing from here in Colorado. Real Player window live feed is nominal.

Side note. Real Player delay typically 15 seconds, but it is presently down to ~5 seconds encoding delay. Not bad.

I would hope so, at 3:30 AM in the morning! LOL

Must go to bed on that last "no-go", have classes tomorrow. :(

Turning on the DVD recorder and praying hard they will be safely on the ground when I awake...

Thanks!

I'm at GMT +3, so I guess it'll be 2:22 pm here.

Spot check.

Looks good from here. NASA TV always does a good job. I love how they say nothing when there is nothing to say. I wish the networks would do more of that.

I think Yahoo is swamped...haven't been able to get it for about an hour. I just gave it about four minutes to load, and nothing. I hope they ditch this Yahoo stuff.

Try FOX News online video.

It's from NASA, but it seems to be faster.
