tomorrow, 6 astronauts on space shuttle endeavour will join the 6 other astronauts currently aboard the international space station. It is the second to last space shuttle flight ever.

But the wedding!

6am for anyone on the east coast of Aus.

Wooo they just started talking about... stuff

 

[DEATH eVADER]

But the wedding!

The Weddings finished, but yeah everything seems to be happening at once. Thinking of getting strippers in for my Birthday.

Lets just hope everything goes according to plan. It would not be right if the Governer recovered from a headshot only to see her husbands head fly through the air......on fire

I was going to try and make it home to film the launch until I heard there would be upwards of 700,000 people in my town of normally 40,000. I'm going to call my dad before I plan to leave to see how traffic is. If I can't make it to film it I asked someone else to (I only live 15 miles away from the launch pad.) Currently I am at school and I have a stupid required meeting.

I'd personally be more excited to see a new type of spacecraft launch than one that's almost 30 years old...

Good riddance! Replace it with something better already NASA, it's long overdue.

Yeah like Constellation. Oh wait, nvm.

Scrubbed for at least 48 hours. Damn auxiliary power modules..

I have my money on COTS since they've accomplished more in the past few years than NASA has in decades when it comes to building payload rockets. If they ever get a heavy payload rocket in full swing... NASA can stop all this dumb shit and work on pushing the envelope instead of being an ISS Ferry at half a billion a trip.
