Isaac Newton

Laurel and Randy, surrounded by the bosses in Guest OpsNotes from an ‘almost’ launch:

  • We were on the bus to the Banana Creek viewing site when the scrub news came–bummer, but just part of the game.
  • Coming to a launch as a NASA guest is way cool. The Guest Ops folks are the best!
  • I sure hope the young British lady we met on Thursday can stay until Endeavour is in Orbit.
  • The STS-134 mission patch is gorgeous.
  • The STS-135 mission patch is of a ‘minimalist’ desgin.
  • Sitting in the visitor center briefing room yesterday, I got to listen to a lot of people ask questions about the Shuttle, the ISS and spaceflight in general. If there were any high school physics teachers in the group, I hope they took away their sharp objects because I suspect they’d want to do bodily harm to themselves. Anyone who thinks we don’t need more emphasis on science education in this country is not paying attention. Q: “If we keep adding stuff to the Space Station, won’t it get too heavy?” A: 🙁
  • If it’s just a t’stat or something ‘simple’ that failed on the APU fuel line, we’ll try to stick around until Monday. If not, it’s back to PHX and off to hail Britannia.
