I'd hate to see the woman who could use it as a ***** though

Still find the shuttle really awe-inspiring.

That bloke in the second pic with the shades and a Tash just looks so damn cool

On a related note, has anyone here watched the HBO mini-series From The Earth To The Moon? It's fantastic if you're into space travel, takes the Apollo landings from the first Gemini missions right through to Apollo 17 in 12 hour-long episodes.

Should be good

There having some problems with the KU-band antenna fixings. Basically the screws are too short, so they made need to to put new ones in. Could delay the launch as its a tricky operation as they will have to build scafolding (sp?) to get up there

Hopefully wont delay it, would be annoyed as ive taken a week off especially for it
