On the news last nite they said parts were no longer available. I hope it isnt scrapped but is sent to a museum somewhere Well it's probably time. The countdown clock didn't have enough digits for counting down from the potential decades between manned SLS missions. Besides we don't have countdown clocks for commercial airline, train or bus departures. Looking forward to the day when the same can be said for space travel. Dave |

Only true in a very narrow sense of a *timer* display (instead of a time display) that is continously updated. http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3789/9126711596_a800507f0f.jpg On the other hand, how many of set the countdown timer on our phones to make sure we get to the gate soon enough? /dps -- But happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. One must have a reason to 'be happy.'" Viktor Frankl |
