And thats tea

and thats me for now.. time for bed!

Best of Luck to the crew of the Space Shuttle Atlantis, the final space shuttle mission ever.

Lets all hope for a safe return and conclusion to the Space Shuttle Program! =)

EDIT: Docking is Sunday morning US Eastern time, so should be about Sunday night/Monday morning for us. Dockings are pretty boring, always fun tho when the pilot docks just a little too hard and they have to wait for the station to stop shaking xD

c00l stuff

S0 is there plans 2 replace the ageing Shuttle with say 1 0f th0se Alien pr0t0types ?
The G0vt have Rem0te pil0ts but maned flights might still B a pr0b anyway I l00k f0rward 2 what future ship they will have as the UF0 0pti0n might B abit hard 2 c0nvince the public it d0esn’t use Alien techn0l0gy…..

Als0 Hashy d0es this mean the base 0n the 0ther side 0f the m00n is n0w self efficient/reliant ?

m00n base..

that m00n base isn’t 0urs, its a surveillance 0utp0st f0r g0d kn0ws wh0

as f0r the r0b0tic space plane (X37B i thiink..); it’s a t0y

They’re n0t g0nna let 0ut their big secret UFO anti grav stuff anytime s00n, that has n0thing t0 d0 with NASA. NASA is the fr0ntline 0f Terran 0nly based techn0l0gy, n0thing used in the NASA pr0grams is based (directly) 0ff 0f any captured/reverse engineered alien techn0l0gy. The anti grav stuff is run by the m0st highly secret branch 0f the g0vernment/ air f0rce secret services. Super super top secret stuff that the president d0esn’t even kn0w ab0ut, but I am ranting at this p0int…

Part the reas0n 0ur anti grav techn0l0gy is kept secret, is because it is kinda interfering.. It tends t0 cut p0wer t0 places 0n the gr0und near them, and pr0duce massive waves 0f c0mpressed air which cause wind st0rms at a great distance from the craft itself. This is because of the air displacement just ar0und the vehicle, because 0f the super high speeds they travel at, the air infr0nt 0f the craft needs t0 be m0ved 0ut 0f the way using the gravity field, s0 the craft isn’t stripped t0 pieces fr0m atm0spheric fricti0n.

I’ve said en0ugh

NASA itself is just g0nna f0cus 0n its r0b0tic 0perati0ns, mars r0vers, science pr0bes, ect ect. Until they get the Crew Exploration Vehicle and Ares 1 launcher built, they will be relying 0n the Russian Soyuz launches t0 get their astr0nauts and expediti0n crew members up t0 the ISS. NASA is far fr0m dead, the Space Shuttle lived l0nger then it sh0uld have in the first place, it really was a m0ney drain. Give the ec0n0my time ( HAHAHAHA..sif..), and maybe in an0ther 5-10 years there will be en0ugh funding t0 finish ARES I and the CEV. As things are n0w the budget f0r that is g0nna be tight I think.

The ESA ( European Space Agency) might end up giving s0mething al0ng the lines 0f the Dreamchaser a g0. s0mething m0re al0ng the lines 0f h0w the American Space Shuttle w0uld have l00ked, bef0re the military g0t stuck int0 them and made them design a flying brick with a large en0ugh payl0ad bay t0 deliver their g00ds int0 0rbit. g00d luck t0 the ESA in getting funding f0r that, it will still burn a h0le in their p0ckets.

f0r n0w its back t0 the 0ld tried and true meth0d 0f small return capsules and the like.. It is a shame t0 l0se the shuttle after all this time, but we knew it was c0ming and we just have t0 m0ve 0n fr0m there. =)
