Great mission so far, awesome launch, incredible space walks (great
views), and achieving a great accomplishment in space station
assembly
by adding the Columbus module to the structure. It's great to see
both
crews together, in the newly added Columbus module during today's
joint crew news conference, enjoying their work. But the best part
was just after ending the press conference both crews had a moment
of
fun play time as they spun and flipped around each other, it's great
to see such a hardworking people having fun and laughing.. Great
mission and looking forward to a beautiful landing, thanks to all
the
work from the crews, and all of the people on the ground that are
making this a successful mission....


Don't forget our DoD accomplishments of testing their latest ABL, as
that too was another 100% great mission. Too bad there was never any
communications between NASA and those of our Boeing team of Phantom
Works, or those of Raytheon/TRW for that matter. It's as though DoD
and of their ABL contractors were running their own show.

ABL - is that for Air Bourne Laser, Anti-Ballistic Laser, or something
else?


ABL = Air Borne Laser (search for Phantom Works ABL)
. - BG


My most fervent wishes are for the SBL, but unfortunately these babies don't
exist (officially).


I agree, that a fleet of such ABLs of 100 MW or better laser beam
capability is a darn good way to go, as the next best thing to any LEO
star wars defensive capability, not to mention multiple other purely
terrestrial DoD applications.


BTW, officially TWA flight 800 wasn't taken out by friendly DoD fire.


Officially the exploding TWA flight 800 simply defied the laws of
physics.


Officially we(US government) did absolutely nothing to bring about the
9/11 fiasco.


Officially we've safely landed upon, walked upon and returned from our
moon that's actually of rather pastel grays, offering 0.75 albedo in
extensive areas, and otherwise our moon is pretty much a passive sort
of place for human DNA to be for extended periods of time, as well as
being impossible to ever see or much less include Venus within any
unfiltered Kodak recorded FOV.


Officially there's no sign or any physical indications of intelligent
other life existing/coexisting on Venus.


Officially JFK was taken out by one rouge individual, and for no
apparent cold-war or NASA/Apollo related matters.


Officially our resident LLPOF warlord(GW Bush) is not after the market
share or export control of Iraq's oil, coal and natural gas.


Officially our FEMA accomplishes its job far better than any other
government or private group could muster.


Officially Steve Fossett is dead.
. - Brad Guth


I'd forgot about the matter of our officially being informed via
mainstream media and by those in charge of most everything, that Jews
supposedly didn't intentionally take out our USS LIBERTY ship and
crew, all because of what they'd just done to their 6-Day war
prisoners. Of course, long after the fact, we now officially realize
such infowar disinformation was simply another perpetrated and
mutually orchestrated lie upon lie from the very get-go.


I have another dozen or so officially published matter of facts that
seem not so truth worthy as we'd been informed. But then, when has
our government not excluded evidence or not having outright lied to
us.

Dude, i just started this thread to pay tribute to all the people who
make the shuttle and station programs successful, not to the off topic
discussion of the satellite shoot down.


That's odd, because I've never once suggested any such thing as "shoot
down". Why are you so into lying about what I'd said?


I'm opposed to our DoD using our shuttle as a thermal receiving target
for their ABL R&D, whereas obviously you and others of your kind don't
care if it's used as such.


Our nation's space program is
accomplishing great things and there are great people who deserve
accolades, not the stuff you have strewn together here.


That's odd, I never once said that folks weren't accomplishing their
jobs. Isn't that exactly what they're paid those big bucks and given
such benefits to do?


Is doing your job actually all that special these days? (apparently
so)


I did not
address your stuff here or previously as you tend to be over the top,
i.e. your messenger posts and a color correction of saturation of +75
will make neon signs out of any gray tones, and not reveal anything
meaningful, so your image processing work leaves something to be
desired anyway.


Say out-of-context what? "columbiaaccidentinvestigation" has what if
anything to do with honestly deductive logic?


Do you always exclude evidence if it rocks your boat?


Now brad, yesterday was the fun day for both crews,
and the today is the hatch closing day which is a little sadder, so im
not feeling too happy right now, so you might want to keep you idiotic
posts off of this thread.......


If you say the truth and nothing but the truth is "idiotic posts"
worthy, then so be it. Just like putting Christ on a stick was
another "fun day" for those faith-based rusemasters in charge, so be
it.

wow, that is some serious dribble, and no i am really not interested
in debating any thing you just stated, as it is way off topic for this
thread, and you have made my point about you needing to go over the
top. Now what i am interested in is experiments such as solar on the
Columbus module.

SOLAR payload on ISS Columbus module

External Facilities: SOLAR
Apart from contributing to solar and stellar physics, knowledge of the
interaction between the solar energy flux and Earth's atmosphere is of
great importance for atmospheric modeling,
atmospheric chemistry and climatology. SOLAR, will study the sun with
unprecedented
accuracy across most of its spectral range. This is currently
scheduled to last two years. It will
be located on the Columbus External Payload Facility zenith position
(i.e., pointing away
from the Earth).
The SOLAR payload consists of three instruments complementing each
other to allow
measurements of the solar spectral irradiance throughout virtually the
whole electromagnetic
spectrum from 17 nm to 100 nm in which99% of the solar energy is
emitted. The threecomplementary solar science instruments a

SOVIM (SOlar Variable & Irradiance Moni
tor), which covers near UV, visible and thermal regions of the
spectrum (200 nm - 100 ìm) is
developed by PMOD/WRC (Davos, Switzerland) with one of the
instrument's radiometers
provided by IRM (Brussels, Belgium).

SOLSPEC (SOLar SPECctral Irradiance
measurements) covers the 180 nm 3,000 nm range. SOLSPEC is developed
by CNRS
(Verrièresle Buisson, France) in partnership with IASB/BIRA (Belgium)
and LSW
(Germany).

SOLACES (SOLar Auto Calibrating Extreme
UV/UV Spectrophotometers) measures theEUV/UV spectral regime. SOLACES
is developed by IPM (Freiburg, Germany).SOVIM and SOLSPEC are upgraded
versions of
instruments that have already accomplished several space missions.
SOLACES is a newly
developed instrument."


I agree that honest science is what counts, even if the demise of
innocent folks is unavoidably required, because without such peer
replicated science we'd have next to nothing for improving the quality
of life within our caves upon this badly failing globe and polluted
environment of ours that's entirely insufficient for sustaining 1e10
souls, that is unless 90% of us are sustained as forever poor, without
our fair share of safe and clean energy that's affordable, and
otherwise kept as snookered and uneducated so that our minion
servitude duties can continue forever. Many faith-based groups have
had that same internal policy, so that their rich and powerful remain
in charge regardless of their insurmountable greed, arrogance and
repeated mistakes.

Too bad we're not allowed to realize the science truths about
surviving in extended space travels, of even surviving upon or within
our extremely nearby and unusually massive moon, about Venus or upon
dozens of other extremely good science related matters. With the
likes of brown-nosed minions going along with the mainstream status
quo, insures that there's never any remorse as to our past, present or
future. (just they way you and others of your rusemaster kind seem to
like it)
