Nasa Tv

If you are into space and want a lot more coverage than any main stream media outlet gives you, go to NASA TV.

http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html

During the Shuttle mission they will be on live 24 hours a day. You can watch the goings on at mission control and also see some great live shots from Discovery and the International Space Station.
They also have mission briefings, and updates.
I know the news update will be only the "official" ones, but at least you get it right from the horse's mouth instead of second hand and later from the news media.

Been watching NASA this morning. You should see the spectacular live video from outside the space Station. "What A View".

I get a station on Direct TV similar to this one. The NASA Channel . It rocks

[Sean]

Here i was, six in the morning, transfixed at the site of the canadarm very slowly moving across the screen. They were on the night side of the Earth at the time, and they were using floodlights to see what they were doing.
I'm nuts!

What is the name of your space program up there in Canada hey?

The Canadian Space Program. Does that help?
We also have a private one called the Canadian Arrow. They are supposed to send up a rocket within a year so so.

Hmmm.They should have come up with something more simple.

It works for me smart ass. I think that the shuttle's robotic arm is Canuckian.

[Sean]

My mistake, Its really called The Canadian Space Agency. I knew it was the Candian something.

Where do they launch from? Must have a devil of a time finding launch windows, no?


Sorry. screwed up your post by accident. My bad. Fixed it.

[Sean]

Funny guy. You know we use NASA and the European Space Agency to send our stuff up. Or maybe you didn't know.
The Canadarm is ours but we give them to NASA for "favours" in return.

I'm not sure though where they will be launching Arrow from

[Captain Beyond]

Favors huh,like mebbe little thingy's in space to track it's citizens?Yeah well,guess every damn country with running water and electricity is in on that by now huh?nowhere to hide anymore mebbe!Goddamn big brother stuff mebbe!

After days of analysis and one repair spacewalk, NASA
has decided that the shuttle is "safe to fly for
re-entry," a top mission manager said Thursday.
The final issue of concern — a torn thermal blanket just
below the cockpit window that might shed bits of debris
during the shuttle's descent — was cleared off the table
Thursday morning after a series of wind-tunnel tests,
said deputy shuttle program manager Wayne Hale, who
heads Discovery's mission management team.
The tests indicated that even if pieces of cloth debris
blew off and struck the aft section of the orbiter, it
would be "of negligible concern" and pose no threat to
Discovery's safe landing, he said. Under those
circumstances, sending spacewalkers out to snip away the
torn section would have violated the "first, do no harm"
rule, Hale said.
