Space Shuttle launch tonight...

[OB1JOB]

That technician is a bit ermm, unsure ermm, of the vibration ermm, - a frank on air public discussion! He must be well regarded

[s3fella]

They need an inanimate carbon rod to wedge it with!


Anyone like the huge pause when the white room guy said, the handrail will stop it hitting the orbiter, then the guy pipes up saying, what about the vibration loading ............you could just imagine him looking at his guys and mounting "WTF is he on about....?!??!" hen er er er er!!

They just showed the inner white door flapping about on Fox, it's a fking big metal doorframe. Better be a mighty strong handrail.

Fox news now with NASA tv sound feed. Web is about 50 seconds behind live

maybe we need to put it to a vote but my gut feel is that we should admit the driver to the PH massive?? (OK.. I know he's a seppo but I'm sure exceptions can be made)


hmmmm.... pondering what the total combined BHP of all PH cars would add up to?

[OB1JOB]

Truly awesome statistics
