Amadeus Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Doesn't happen very often that live radio and video communication from outer space is broadcasted live around the world.. Go on BBC News now, scroll down and click on "Live Now - Spacewalk to repair Shuttle" on the right hand side - live video stream from Houston - and I hope they won't have a problem...

When Skies Are Grey Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Can't help but think of Capricorn One....if you look carefully in the background you can see the joins!! Im could have sworn the guy said before...where did I put that spanner? You even get cowboys in Space. No doubt FCMR will complain that the tender never went to any manxies.

the-rhymes Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 I think the robotic arm is amazing: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2001/ast18apr_1.htm It can move about like an inch worm, very futuristic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
