Brantuk Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I lifted this cos it's so fascinating to watch - enjoy http://framework.latimes.com/2012/10/15/time-lapse-video-space-shuttle-endeavours-trek-across-l-a/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 With our government? No chance, they'd "u-turn" too many times... Can you imagine a three point turn in a space shuttle?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fluke Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I loved that. I think I'd like to go and visit the shuttle at some point in the future. I wonder how close and personal you'll be able to get to it? Would be awesome to have a look inside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 It's a bit like Concorde, we do something daring and amazing, get it right, and then some bean counter stops it and puts us back to square one. Without the shuttles, there would be no Hubble, science would be a whole lot further back. How much would I liked to have seen one launch, it would have been stunning.

Rusty Strings Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Don't get me started on the british ability to cancel world beating projects, TSR2, Nimrod, and maybe Blue Streak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldfruit Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 That was great to watch,and even though the shuttle programme has finished it is still an amazing feat. A bit like the olympic torch relay with boosters and nightmare logistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
