They piggyback it on a custom-rigged 747:

iunno if your bsing that, but if so that's AMAZING

$1.7 Mil to get that shuttle to FL.

NASA FTL

maybe you felt that train that derailed in KY

I have a friend who works for nasa. Before they used the 747 piggyback, they used to send it by boat. It would take one boat for the shuttle and two boats for the support equipment. If you think 1.7 Mil is alot you should hear of some of the waste at the facilty where they maintain it.

I don't care how much training you can have, I would still be scared shitless that much fuel and power underneath me!

I will be really surprised it that sound wave didnt do some damage somewhere local here.

What did you have for lunch? It wants to go swimming.

I live in North Hollywood around what time did this happen?

Nope True Story.

:confused:rolleyes:rolleyes

NASA is probably one of the greatest government agencies. Hardly anyone gives them enough credit. Everytime there is a FUBAR or costs are presented, people roll their eyes at NASA, and question the reason for space exploration.

Just like the technology from F1 filters down to Ferraris or the Tech in 7s come down to the 3s, the technology pioneered in the space program trickles down to earth and helps all of mankind.

Space exploration is tough and costs money but it is the ultimate educational experience. More money should be spent on NASA.

NASA FTMFW!

we had a huge sonic boom here earlier in the week, some f-16 pilot fucking around.

It was the Shuttle on re-entery. They landed at Edwards.

/thread

it definately shook my whole house.

Srsly hope you're kidding...



How much is being spent on ordinance, logistics and fuel by the military abroad daily?


At least this comes back in re-usable pieces.

If NASA had even a percentage of the defense budget, we'd all be planning vacations to orbit and the moon by now.

They usually land it in Fl just had bad weather this time. Maybe they could use intercity lines and save a few bucks?

I heard it too, and I yelled at the wife "what hte fuck did you do????" shook the whole damn house

then I also heard heli's and I thought Pendleton was doing exercises or something.

lol so thats what that was, felt like someone slamed all 15 doors in my house at once........either that or someone had a HUGE FART! lolololololol, wow thats crazy.
