You also absolutely have no clue how ridiculous your sound do you?
Yes it is a space agency and one of it's goals is to inspire children and to garner support from the tax payers. They can't do that if they don't make nice flash animations like this. Hell I know a lot more then most people about the space shuttle and I found the site and videos a little entertaining and informative.
BoooHooo Robocop!! Yeah ok Children-Like Adults, get your head out of your ass next time. Instead of making your opinions by watching some biased news opinions, why don't you actually watch a meeting of congress or a presidential speech? Nope I bet you don't and I also bet that even though im telling you this now, your just going to shrugg it off because "Bleh stupid american, I don't need to know anything like that to know you all suck and are stupid and fat and drive SUVs and love eating middle eastern babies for dinner"
Here is some better info, these are all the Shuttle Launches in the past and the future planned launches.
http://www.thespaceplace.com/shuttle/past.html And the guy above is a troll with no experience in rocket science. AFAIK If there is an explosion or a leak in a tank, the Hydrogen dissapates into the atmosphere so quickly that all the energy can not be put into an explosion. So him trying to compare the energy by MJ of the shuttle to a nuke is flawed because the mechanics are vastly different.
Well not really, because your metabolism is still going on, just much much slower then it normally would. So not only would you end up waking up say 600 years later, you would also feel 40 years older with an incredibly weak body probablly due to deterioration of muscles and bones. Plus when you wake up 600 years later, your family and everyone you know is gone, poof. And maybe they could condition you while your in prison with unpleasant thoughts =) (600 years of dropping the soap in the virtual world heh)
Then again, im a physicist not a biologist so I dunno.
Would you rather someone be accountable for an accident or people to just go around and say "uhhh I don't know whose fault it was or what caused the problem because we didn't do any paperwork on it"
NASA is super bloated and the shuttle is the biggest waste of tax payer money!!! Ohh with all that money spent on the shuttle, we could have had 20 cures for AIDS and 42 for Cancer!
Booo NASA, Booo Bush, Go get some good old Russian Hardware because the Russiasn kicks your @ss...
Now that that's out of the way, this is good but seriously are they goign to be doing this on every mission. I was reading before that this is most definetly going to be one of the safest shuttle launchs ever, but will they be using the same stringent safety measures on the 15th flight or the 25flight of the shuttle?
yeah and then wait 10 years for the ion drive to reach the asteriod and then another 30 years for it to change the course of the asteriod enough for it to not kill us... yeah sure...
yeah because you know the russians have been to the moon and have send probes that have done useful science on mars in recent years. Ohh yeah lets not forget about all the information the Russians gave us about the gas giants and their moons. Yeah definetly ahead of us...
Welcome to 2005, the US beat the Russians, now lets stop with all the retarded fighting about who has a bigger rocket dick and strap on balls.
The Russians do it by having an active system on both the spacecraft that is docking and the craft/satellite that is being docked to. It's much much easier to do it that way, what NASA was trying to do was have the spacecraft do it ALL by itself with absolutely no human intervention and no active docking systems on the targetted satellite.
They really should, in space rendevous is going to be a very important technology in the future, especially when the CEV needs to be assembled in orbit for a trip to the moon or mars, much easier to have it autonomously done.
And this time, launch the thing off of a Falcon 1, not a $30million pegasus.
Do they even have a right to sue any of the kids because its not like they where charging for access to this information. Is the RIAA going to sue me for making an mp3 rip of my friend's CD now too? Where do you draw the line? I think they drew it way too low...
that is really awesome, they should sell some of those things:-D I would love one of those in my house with some touch sensors too so the floor can light up when I walk on it!
If only the majority of the people who actually provide meaninful contributions to the linux kernel where Geeks in their bedrooms then your comment would mean something, but umm its not.

To your Disclaimer, they Are... Every single CEV design has a capsule based reentry.

Using these in prisons?
Seems a bit better then the death penalty, would also actually make those 600 year jail sentences mean something =)
One day you go to jail, 5 years later you wake up anew.
Remind anyone of Demolition Man? Good because it should!
Its called EVE-Online :-)
Or Isaac Asimov's stories of the far far far future =)

that's not the question to life the universe and everything!!
The mice people only made that one up!
but whats the question?
slick?
you must mean ugly...
your just jealous... Admit the truth!!
yeah and then wait 10 years for the ion drive to reach the asteriod and then another 30 years for it to change the course of the asteriod enough for it to not kill us... yeah sure...
ohh yeah definetly #4, lots and lots of terrorism... LOTS right? right? right? facts? nope none...
ohh and #2 uhuh which is why crime rates have been decreasing in the US over the past 5 years.
#1? yeah sure, everyone hates us, everyone also wants to be just like us... its a love hate thing.
That was Lockheeds fault, NOT NASA's
So I say again, get your head out of your ass.

oooo j00 s000 funny and smarty!!!
NASA DOES use metric, get your head out of your ass.
The people who mod you and your type insightful deserve to have their brains hanged from a bridge...

They seem to be mac os X friendly too, look at the screenshot in the article, its OS X =)
woohoo Go RIT!! At least they sent us all an Email 2 weeks ago telling us to not get onto the hub.
damnit at least we still have our own hub =)
...
Those bastards...
Do they even have a right to sue any of the kids because its not like they where charging for access to this information. Is the RIAA going to sue me for making an mp3 rip of my friend's CD now too? Where do you draw the line? I think they drew it way too low...
Supreme Court Case, where are you!?
that is really awesome, they should sell some of those things :-D I would love one of those in my house with some touch sensors too so the floor can light up when I walk on it!
Like I really need a gay ass computer chip to controll my aggression, screw you, you stupid piece of shit!
