Looked normal to me.


But calling off the first try and wasting millions of dollars by that only because of a broken fuel sensor. Wusses!  ;D

I don't think it is wussy at all Bj

Break my shuttle once, shame on you. Break my shuttle twice...

I woke up bright and early on the 13th, but I missed today's lauch! >:( Stupid me...

I saw a picture of that big thingy that carries the shuttle to it's pad, and it reminded me of big bertha or something out of one of those ridiculous futuristic games, with tanks the size of  apartments.  Massive!

I just thought, maybe they didn't have a malfunction at all, but they just didn't want to luanch on lucky 13.  That's not to say NASA's superstitious, but it certaintly couldn't hurt.

At least I have a desktop of Discovery though.

May I introduce?

Dora. Used during the siege of Sevastopol in '42.

Oh I know about 'er. Just saying the shuttle mover thingy reminded me of:

• A: Germany's ginormous gun
• B: Ridiculous concept tanks

'Twas a list, not an expansion of an established concept.  Once again, we learn that I have bad grammar!
