We were up following NASA TV and they scrubbed it. Ceilings were too low 600' to 2200', rain inside the 30 mile ring around the area....

I have been watching the NASA action with recent shuttle flights and I stumbled across a short grainy video showing the shuttles' glass cockpits. I am impressed even though I prefer to fly with those old round things to tell me what is going on. www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/glass_cockpit.htmlAnd on the subject of space I have found the ultimate scource of info on all the stuff that is orbiting around our cloudy marble. www.heavens-above.com/ The site is run by a guy in Germany (tell him I sent you) and having registered and included your co-ordinates and time zone, each time you log on, everything you reference on the site is related to you. Whether you want to see the ISS or a spent rocket, it is all there. And for accuracy try out the iridium flares where a satellite's solar array reflects the sun's rays at you. Very precise prediction and timed to the second; night and DAY !! Have fun |
