zoooooooooooooommmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!
Sh1t the bed that thing takes of quickly! I need one of them for christmas!
there are some amazing jobs in the world then there is being an astronaut. think i would shit my pants.
Within 10 minutes, it's already [i]thousands[/i] of miles from the launch site. That is incredible.
Bored now.
how long has that style of shuttle been in use, clearly an amazing bit of kit but surely due an update
no update due, cost is to much even for the yanks think it is all over by 2015 for the shuttle project
they have less people in mission control than an F1 team
there's no * scary 'different' religions or easily accessible oil in space so the money goes elsewhere
*[EDIT] [i]known[/i]
I worked on the shuttle program between 1980 and 1983, and was there for the first flight. That was a very exciting time.
I once saw it fly over the UK after lift-off - it was just a very fast bright light TBH
Late January afternoon back in the early 80s - I couldn't quite figure out how it was still so low as to be able to see it
Would love to see it leave the launch pad
