RDU Ready to Grow Up

// October 27th, 2005 // Comments Off // News

Can you tell I’m reading the N&O’s site? hehe This is the third post in a row here from the News & Observer’s Web site. Anyway, I’ll be interested to see these changes and upgrades to RDU. It’s always been weird to me that there’s such a disproportionate amount of traffice in Terminal A. Nothing I see in this article explains why there hasn’t been more airlines moved to C prior to the pending building upgrades and changes.

Skin Cells Converted to Stem Cells

This is wonderful, if it holds up. It would mean exact genetic matches for organ transplants, meaning no rejections. I hope this pans out.

Shuttle Program Director Says More troubleshooting Necessary

// July 14th, 2005 // Comments Off // News

From NASA’s official return to spaceflight site:

Space Shuttle Program Deputy Manager Wayne Hale has announced more troubleshooting is necessary to determine why an Engine Cut-Off sensor gave intermittent readings during Wednesday’s attempted launch of Space Shuttle Discovery.

The STS-114 crew will remain at Kennedy Space Center for the time being, continuing preparations, repeating some training and even taking some time to relax.

The good news is for the time being, the STS-114 crew is staying in FL, so there’s hope of a launch that isn’t too far in the future.

Return to Flight

I’m getting excited about this afternoon’s potential return to U.S. Space Flight. I guess part of it is because Amanda and I were just out there at the Kennedy Space Center less than a week ago.

The official NASA site has some great stuff:

Return to Flight

Click on that night shot of Discovery and get a larger photo, suitable for wallpaper. Very interesting. I’m going to be watching that site all day and it I just found that NASA TV is being streamed today via RealPlayer. They’re currently at T-3 Hours (held clock). Launch is still set for 3:51pm. Hopefully, the weather will hold.

This looks pretty cool. I think it’s nice that they stuck with the height of 1776 as well.
