I already looked it up. If it goes off on Aug 28th as scheduled, I can't be there. I can be close in ATL.

 

Where did you find a schedule?

 

We can tentatively be there although we're planning a Midwest trip that hasn't been finalized.
Traveller....how many spare bedrooms do you have and what's for breakfast??
We're on a fixed income.

Fixed at what, a million bucks?

But regardless, how many spare bedrooms do you have and what is for breakfast?

 

I have 2 spare bedrooms and a living room couch and loveseat... plenty of floor.

Breakfast is high fiber cereal with skim milk, low fat yogurt, and black decaf coffee. no cigs.... Still want to stay here?

So indufan, you can find the answer to this... why aren't shuttle missions in numerical order?

 

Cholula and I will take one room each. If I can't make it, I will cancel before 6 PM day of arrival. We will have to do something about breakfast but we will work that out later.

Well, I am not sure what this all means but you asked.

The shuttle is officially referred to as the Space Transportation System (STS). Specific shuttle missions are therefore designated with the prefix "STS." Initially, the launches were given sequential numbers indicating order of launch, such as STS-9. Beginning in 1984, each mission was assigned a code, such as STS-41-B, with the first digit indicating the federal fiscal year offset into the program (so 41-B was scheduled for FY 1984, 51-L originally for FY 1985 and the third flight in FY 1995 would have been named 151-C), the second digit indicating the launch site (1 was Kennedy Space Center and 2 was Vandenberg Air Force Base, although Vandenberg was never used), and the letter indicating scheduling sequence. These codes were assigned when the launches were initially scheduled and were not changed as missions were delayed or rescheduled. After the Challenger disaster, a sequential numbering system was restored, with the number according to counting from the beginning, although, unlike the initial system, the assignment of numbers is based on the initial schedule and may not reflect launch order. The letter indicates that the intermediate numbering system applies, and e.g. flight STS-51 was many years after STS-51-A.

 

I guess the last one's my alternative, since I don't really want to bed down with either Cholula or indufan. So do I get dibs on the floor?

 

 

I guess that says it all... thanks for looking it up, indufan!


And what's wrong with my breakfast?? (I do cheat and have caffinated coffee with sweetner and 2% milk ).

 

Hey, wait a minute.
I can cuddle pretty good.

We're heading to Waffle House!!

 

Since Dovster is temporarily unable to make suggestions. I guess Traveller has filled in for him.

 

Best use ever of the

 

I don't blame you one bit there.




the couch is comfy....

 

Yes, we do work well together.


Well it's been a long day.... Night all, sweet dreams!

 

Hey, I just said it was fixed. I didn't say where it was fixed.

Plus I'm not above accepting a handout or a freebie here or there.
