With a heavy glider with short wings, I guess you have to get it right every time.

Here's hoping for tomorrow.

*edit* heck, that didn't take long, payload bay doors opening already!

It was a VERY marginal decision. Cain wanted it to go ahead and is currently very angry.

A few arguments going on, Can't see who but I can hear! I think I'm going to hide.

Payload Bay doors will reopen now.

So the weather officer has a veto on the landing, and used it?

You have it backwards. Rominger said go, Cain and the JSC wx officer said no.

That's wrong by definition. Cain was advised to say no, but wanted to. That's why he has controllers.

A side note, this will close in six hours time, so get them in and post that you have if you want to. I have something cool for those that do (remember the video last time I asked for people to mail in? New one ready! - special send to those that make the effort to mail the above).
