(If I've got my timezones right, it will be deorbit at 7:15pm with landing around 8:25pm, COOULD be wrong though) I've recently found a slightly higher quality network stream for NASA TV. http://playlist.yahoo.com/makeplaylist.dll?id=1368163 (It appears to be double the resolution but needs a 1.2Mbps connection at least) The normal one is here... http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx STS-126 to Press Ahead With a Landing in California Sun, 30 Nov 2008 05:10:07 PM GMT Flight controllers have elected to press ahead with space shuttle Endeavour's landing at Edwards Air Force Base in California at 4:25 p.m. EST today.

JustGav Posted December 1, 2008 Author Share Posted December 1, 2008 Hmmm, I remember a few years back getting 2 sets of the those outdoor rope lights in green, and nailing them either side of the driveway... to be honest it was less festive and more heathrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
