wmw999 2,593 #6 July 13, 2005 Quote2 hours till launch on the countdown The countdown clock is not necessarily a real clock. There are some built-in holds that can go any length. The scheduled lift-off time (which IS a hard deadline) is 3:46-3:51 EDT. If it doesn't go today, it should be rescheduled for tommorrow, about (and I'm not sure of this) 20 minutes earlier.

FrEaK_aCcIdEnT 0 #13 July 13, 2005 only thing i can think of is... what the hell do they do if they blow SNOT all ofer the inside of thier helmet? thy cant exactly take it off for a few and put it back on during launch. then again how easy could it be to sneeze while being pushed into the seat at that many g forces?

FrEaK_aCcIdEnT 0 #20 July 13, 2005 i saw a thing somewhere were NASA was working on a robot that looked and moved exactly as a human could that would make the spacewalks for them. it was creepy and eary(sp?) how lifelike it looked and the astronaute would control it from the inside via a complex glove and body type setup. there was 2 cameras in the eyes of the robot to show accurate depth perseption. i cant remember were i saw that at. but it was neat stuff!
