Shuttle Landing on Fox

Goldmember · August 21st, 2007, 12:31

Shuttle coming home early landing on Fox right now!

Doug Taylor · August 21st, 2007, 12:49

I just watched it on MSNBC with the sound on mute.

Good coverage but the guy providing 'color' was killing me! Sometimes a little silence says it all.

I think CNN also covered it. . .but I was watching MSNBC.

Brian29 · August 21st, 2007, 12:54

Yeah, I was watching it on the NASA channel. Does anyone know what it was ejecting in puffs at the rear of the shuttle?

That was the self sustained lav service

I watched in HD on HDNet

We're part of "Generation Cox" out here in Arizona so not only do we not have HDNet, the cable modem's DNS server was offline and my phone was out so I couldn't call to report!

I thought you were using Open DNS now. Or are you talking about VOIP service with your cable?

I'm using Open DNS on the router, yes!

I was taking a stab at Cox.

I was at 250' just off Cocoa Beach... The booms were unmissable!

it sucks being stuck at work and having any streaming media filtered. I guess you tube it will be at home.

Yeah, that's probably the best coverage.

Dude, if you came down from space at 4000 fpm, you would probably puff in you rear as well

BCTAv8r · August 21st, 2007, 14:59

Watched it on NASA tv as well. The HUD cam was really cool.

They kept talking about cross wind, how much of a crosswind was it? It didn't look like they crabbed a whole lot, barely noticable, but you could tell by one wheel touching down slightly sooner then the other one. Miles O'Brian just gets so excited when he talks about aviation.

Well when you're doing 200 knots over the threshold, a measly 10 knot crosswind doesn't need much attention from the rudder.
