Anyone know how long it takes to go from the ground to the ISS in one of these?
Maybe, half hour?Mekstizzle wrote:

They said they'd get there sunday. It doesn't take too long to get into orbit, but it takes a while for the perfect line-up to reach the docking station on the ISS.Mekstizzle wrote:

Also, don't these guys reach like Mach 20 when they re-enter Earth? That's freakin' awesome.

Alright, not bad
What about the mileage

The shuttle is to the right. That's the moon in the middle. It's funny what a long exposure will do. That water was actually pretty damn choppy.
I wasn't prepared for the brightness. I should have just shot as if it were day.
Moon? What moon?
Stars much?

Video sucks, I didn't put a lot of effort into it... sounds cool though.
This does it no justice. You've got to feel it. Then sit back and think, someone is sitting on that..lol.

dammit KMo, i was on the 406 causeway a couple hundred feet from the gate into KSC
EDIT: it's also the most epic feeling when you see it light up, start moving, and then about 10 seconds later, FEEL the rumbling of the engines

Did you see the Blue Angels? They've been flying back and forth from Macdill to KSC.cowami wrote:
perhaps they were practicing for their show at KSC on the 8th/9thKmarion wrote:
Today I had a random Blue Angels flyby while getting out of my car at my grocery store. Not sure what they were doing but it's always cool to hear those guys tearing through the sky.

You cant really see them, it's not like I was expecting it, or that I could see the screen on my camera phone. But you sure can hear them .
me and some of my friends may go

since it was homecoming weekend though, the navy sent over an F/A-18E and the air force sent two of their ANG F-16s to daytona international
that, and on the monday before veterans' day, 4 F-18s buzzed the school (which i know because i felt them go by in the engineering building)
Money? Their shows are always free here.
Maybe you meant trip money.

EDIT: and aside from the NROTC guys being cockfags and not allowing us anywhere near the super hornet's intakes, it was pretty cool (since BF2 taught me the location of every weapon on an aircraft )
