iamwearingpants Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 You\'re welcome! Heh, I don\'t think NASA would let Jeb into mission control. He\'d press the range safety button the moment it lifts off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polecat Industries Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You\'re welcome! Heh, I don\'t think NASA would let Jeb into mission control. He\'d press the range safety button the moment it lifts off due to concerns about 'lacking in SRB-related thrust'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polecat Industries Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Also, does that launch complex look a little like the KSP one, or is it just me?EDIT: T minus four minutes, people! Or something like that. Oh, and they said they were applying onboard video power. Now I keep half expecting to see Jebediah\'s face on the screen.

I\'m going somewhere there will not be computer at for a week.well, if you dont care what rocket you will see, then i have good news for you - with current flight rate, it is a little more than one flight per week... what this is means is something like this:- before the end of feb, one chinese rocket will launch- then on march 5th, russian proton will start from baikonur - march 9th is ariane with atv supply vehicle for iss- and then for the rest of march there are some more launches planned - pegasus, delta iv, proton once more, one indian launcher and japan h-2and this way it continues for the whole 2012and in august there are planned 2 EVAs on iss (similar to the one that was yesterday) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
