  He doesn't mention your piece Jim'O

  
  Not really an issue if it came off the back of the tank.

• Barbree asked the question. Wayne referred to a 'flare' of something off the bottom of the ET hitting the SSME plume -- this wasn't what we are talking obout. We'll just have to ask more pointedly. Now it's just curiosity -- not any concern.
• #454 by JimO on 09 Sep, 2006 21:10
• Well, thinking in three-D, the white object could well have been in the SSME plume, since we're looking fairly straight 'up the skirt' of the ascending shuttle. Hmmm, let's spend some quality cogitation time. Hale's reply could well have neeb apropos of the video we're examing.

• I think it was another very brief condensation flash with a shallower angle, very close in time to the frame you've put up there Avron.
• #456 by Oli4 on 09 Sep, 2006 21:11
• The piece Jim'O is talking about comes from the front of the ET... Not from the main engines...
• #457 by triddirt on 09 Sep, 2006 21:11
• Wayne Hale - No Daylight Launch required on the books for future flights...
  Did I get that right?

• "well have neeb " = "well have been "

• Cool coment from Wane at the end of the breefing, right before thes switched of the cameras: "To bad it wern't anything to talk about guys"
