Wow LD,
I didn't thought you could look so high with your four legs on the ground.
There's no more threat for a Gallic that the Sky fall down on is head
Now I'm aware.
Cheers

Thats pretty cool. I remember NASA had something similar on one of their websites a while back, but It's been so long since I used it I'm not sure if it's still there. I used it a few times to track the international space station and got to see it fly over once.

A sad day :wiggle:
yeah STS-133 is over only 134 and 135 to go, Discoverys stop point is marked and a 'memorial' will be put at the side of the runway to commemorate her illustrious career... over 5million miles covered this mission, over 100 million over it's lifetime... talk about mileage...
