Damage Spotted on Shuttle as it Heads to Space Station

July 16, 2009 Featured, Nasa No Comments

Space shuttle Endeavour’s astronauts inspected their ship Thursday as engineers on Earth pored over launch pictures that showed debris breaking off the fuel tank and striking the craft.

The slow, tedious work unfolded as the shuttle rocketed toward the international space station for a Friday linkup.

It was the first full day in orbit for the seven astronauts, who are delivering a veranda for Japan’s enormous lab. It also happened to be the 40th anniversary of the launch of the first manned moon landing.

Mission Control told the astronauts late Wednesday that Endeavour’s launch damage looked less extensive at first glance than what occurred on the last shuttle flight, but it will take days to sort through available data to reach a conclusion.

You can bet Nasa will be monitoring the shuttle closely so as not to have another disaster such as with the Space Shuttle Columbia.

Hypocricy Illustrated – Conservatives for Whitman?

February 12, 2010

We know the “Conservatives” at Meg County were purchased.

Placer County Republican Party Under Fire by Sacramento Bee… (Breaking) Roger Niello the Choice of Big Labor

December 30, 2009

The Bee is depressed. John Doolittle isn’t around anymore to hate. Tom McClintock is regaining his rock star status in the GOP.
All that’s left is to attack those Right-Wing nutcases in the Placer County Republican Central Committee. Yours truly has a few things to say about that…

December 17, 2009

If George W. [...]
