Do you think we might all be getting a little excited over a routine undocking? This bit is hardly rocket science

75 feet away:

Discovery calls a range of 89 feet from the hand held laser

Everything having to do with the Space Shuttle program is rocket science...

The view we will get over a couple of minutes will really be exciting

In addition to the view, orbital mechanics was rocket science when I was in school.

Seems that they're having problems with the RPOP machine.

psloss · « **Reply #37 on:** 11/05/2007 09:43 am »

Paolo having problems with RPOP...sure have been a lot of computer problems...

RPOP == Rendezvous Proximity Operations Program

150 feet away. I hope we have sunrise/sun for the fly-around...
