Space Shuttle over Ireland (1 Viewer)

[Man In A Can]

Did anyone see the Space Shuttle last night??? It went over at 11.23. It looked really cool, got to see the fuel tank falling away from the shuttle.

.........America's war machine from the comfort of your own home.

Surely things don't get any better than this.

Did the astronauts wave when they saw you looking?

I saw it. Cloudly night, seemed to be in two parts. It looked quite close but was obviously FAR AWAY.

each shuttle mission costs half a billion dollars.
i'm surprised bertie didn't decide he wanted an irish reusable space vehicle as his legacy.

It went over at 11.23.

This was really bad planning. It clashed with the Land Lovers interview on Phantom.

that wasn't a "space shuttle". it was something else. something not of our world

space is great, I'm follwing the astronauts on twitter

NASA:“These Are Days” by the 10,000 Maniacs was the shuttle crew's wake-up song. It played at 8:03amET especially for astronaut Tim Kopra.

Tim seems sound

Apparently the shuttle will be visible in the southern skies over Ireland at 10.53 this evening.

Finally, ADVANCE warning of something cool and space-like
