This one is only around the corner, so getting this on a placeholder already...

Post your "Woo hoo, GO DISCOVERY!!" stuff in here (and not the live update threads)

Go STS-124!! This will be a cool mission, seeing that HUGE module being added. I can't wait to see inside!

Go Discovery!

A great mission with my favorite orbiter with a Navy CDR (counted by the Navy as a Command-at-Sea tour, by the way) and PLT, what could be better!!!! Godspeed DISCOVERY and her crew!!!!

Godspeed, Discovery! May I closely follow the mission this time.

Here's to wishing a wonderful trip for Discovery and her crew running around in circles of radius 6700 km (or thereabouts).

So, you're login name is NavySpaceFan, your location is Norfolk, VA (the biggest Navy town in the U.S.), and you know that STS-124's CDR and PLT are both Navy. Just a hunch, is there a pro-Navy bias here?

Disclosure: I proudly served in the Navy right out of high school. Go Navy!

Go Discovery, and your sisters' Endeavour and Atlantis will be watching you with there eyes as you lift off the pad and head off to the ISS. Farewell to the crew of Discovery, and have a safe and successful flight!!!

From Australia..we only wish a safe mission for all...GO Discovery..I saw you roll out from the VAB..

Not entirely sure this is the right place, but since some people have been asking for a while now about the looming deadling vs. flight rate of the shuttle I just thought this was a good place/time to remind everyone that when Discovery launches this weekend it will be NASA's 6th Shuttle mission in the ONE YEAR time span from STS-117 on June 8, 2007. SIX flights in one year... that's something to celebrate and remember for the future when this flight rate argument comes up again!

Cheers! And God speed Discovery.

(P.S, going to see the launch from around 6 miles away, will post photo's.)

Discovery,

You better go up on the 31st, as if you do, I can see docking. If you don't, please go up on Tuesday, June 2nd, as I could see docking then. Any other days are not good for me.

Thanks!
-Steven

(LOL! In all truthfulness, go up whenever you can, Discovery. Godspeed. I'll be here to watch, as well as millions of others.)

Yay, Discovery!

My kids have made their mission t-shirts and we're ready. This will be our third launch in a row and we'll be at the causeway. I'm beside myself and already can't sleep from excitement!

Best of luck to the crew and ground control, you all ROCK!

Here's my edited STS-124 patch, with the JEM looking more realistic in size compared to the other ISS modules in the original patch!

Looking forward to an exciting mission.
Godspeed Discovery.

Bruce · « **Reply #23 on:** 05/31/2008 11:11 am »

I'm in my hotel room in Titusville, just waiting until it's time to go out to KSC. A mixture of jetlag and excitement means I was up early. I can't imagine how the astronauts must be feeling right now, but I'm sure they'd be awake early too

Good Luck Discovery. Looking forward to seeing you fly this afternoon.

RonaldJamesCoote · « **Reply #24 on:** 05/31/2008 11:16 am »

Bruce, you are suffering in the same way I am, also awake from 5am in my Titusville hotel room. Have a great trip out to KSC today - see you there with 5000 others!

It's about local Noon as Mark Kelly slides into his seat... and somebody needs to put up a sun shade!

"Ahhhh, that's a relief!"

Go Discovery! Go break the record for the orbiter with the most days in space!

My best wishes to the teams and the crew for a safe and successful mission, and here's hoping the tank mods perform as-advertised.

Here we go! Go Discovery, Go STS-124!

Amazing launch.

How did the send off go at booster ignition, I can't remember.

Also what is the wake up music chosen for this mission?

robertross · « **Reply #33 on:** 06/01/2008 12:19 am »

Great launch for Discovery. Big Congrats to all the teams on the ground who prepared her. Can't wait to see STS-125 launch (fingers crossed...live in person).

Bubbinski · « **Reply #34 on:** 06/09/2008 12:22 am »

Great flight so far! I had a thought that just occurred to me, and I figure this is as good a place as any to post it, since it is cheerleading:

One year ago today I was at the KSC Visitor Center to watch STS-117 lift off just before sunset. One of the pictures I took of it is my avatar.

In the year since, counting STS-117, we have had six shuttle flights. There have been three truss elements (S3/S4, S5, P6) added or moved to their final location, as well as four new pressurized modules (Harmony, Columbus, JLP, Kibo) and the Canada Hand (Dextre) added to ISS. When Atlantis docked to ISS in June 2007, the station was very different than it is now.

The ISS has come a very long way. Congratulations!
