SargonKingOfSlith Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 It was really unrealistic to expect that they were going to hit a 5 minute launch window. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGRuss Posted July 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 It was really unrealistic to expect that they were going to hit a 5 minute launch window. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> True enough - if it isn't the weather there are a lot of other little things that can pop up to cause trouble. Looks like it will be a few days delay minimum based on the last news I heard so we'll just have to wait a little longer. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hughestrog Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Nice to see the shuttle back in business! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think I said that a little too quickly. Hopefully they'll fix any problems with the fleet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll fix any problems with the fleet. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The good news is that they had a back up plan in case of this situation. I, too, hope that they are successful in making repairs and can return safely to us. I am confident that they will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locklyn Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 NASA has an amazing brain trust and has a deep respect for being thourough in usual cases so I am sure they together with the skilled crew will find a way for the mission to end safely but I'll send a quick prayer and ask St Christopher to keep his eye on them for they are surely travellers far from home. /Lars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Uriel Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Just out of curiousity, is the Hubble completely written off? Are there any intentions of saving it? Lord Uriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Uriel <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Last I heard they were going to keep Hubble going if the shuttle was a success. Of course the latest news puts that in doubt.
