I thought the PAL ramp that came off was far less weight than the Columbia ET piece? And was a good time after on the ascent?

I'd LOVE to see it again.Awesome man.I do have these files seemingly from FD2:mmt_briefing_072705.wmv with Mr. Parsons and Mr. Hale status_brief_072705.wmv Mr. Engelauf and Mr. ShannonYou wrote your article on July 27th.The Launch was on July 26th.Then there is status_brief_072805.wmv Mr. Hill and Mr. Shannon, and in this one Mr. Hill has different clothes compared to the image in you article.Do I miss a briefing with Mr. Hill here..

It could be "mmt_briefing_072705.wmv with Mr. Parsons and Mr. Hale" - because Mr Hale turned up after Mr Hill had taken some questions, so maybe Mr Hill was standing in?

The apologizing to the MAF people was an interesting part too.
I believe the briefing you refer to with Mr. Engelauf and Mr. Shannon was a Mission Status Briefing at the end of Flight Day 1, which may have been 27 July in GMT. Mr. Hill was the lead flight director (Orbit 1) for STS-114, so his first shift would have been on Flight Day 2.I have the FD1 MSB (or most of it) handy, but not necessarily FD2 or FD3.Edit: the FD1 MSB was at 2100 GMT on 26 July.
STS-114: Discovery Mission Status Briefing July 27, 2005 Paul Hill, STS-114 Lead Shuttle Flight Director and Wayne Hale, Space Shuttle Deputy Program Director is shown during this mission status briefing. Hill talks about the first 24 hours of the Space Shuttle Discovery in orbit. He expresses that he has acquired data from the launch through imagery and hand held photographs of the external tank. Hale answers questions from the news media about how the engineers may be managing this data and if there is an overwhelming amount of data. Live downlink television pictures from the end-effectors camera on the Robotic Arm as it has completed its reberthing of the Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) are shown.

In fact, on the Katrina reference, I know one of them who lived in an area apparently a lot of them live in, Sidell (spelling) and he completely lost his home. Lived with his parents for two years, caused a lot of personal problems I won't repeat. And then you see the ET mods they worked and the TIMs to get the tank shipping on track to support the manifest (around that period) and you know instantly know what those people are made of right there.And then you look at home pretty much nothing came off those tanks during the latter missions.....
I swear it happened, honest guv'nor!

Was awesome to see that live, felt like I was at a one sided boxing match and you could only cheer him on.Not very well written as it was in the very early days of the site, but as a reminder:http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2005/07/hitman-hill-lays-down-the-law/And if Mr Hale sees this post, he'll remember that presser as he walked it just as Mr Hill had finished with that BBC guy, put his hand on Mr Hill's shoulder as if to say "I think he's dead, you can stop now" and took over.Loved it.
