SUCCESS! Godspeed Discovery

This will likely become a popular page in the next 48 hours. Let's try to be polite to one another, clear, complete, and accurate. And let's be careful out there... :-)

Cost?

Anyone know the cost of building STS-114? If so, please leave a message on my talk page. • Thorpe • 18:26, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

This isn't vandalism, this is THE TRUTH!!!!!!!

Next launch attempt

According to the press conference this afternoon, the most optimistic date for a second attempt would be Saturday. No date has been set, tentative or otherwise. Reference for Saturday date: http://www.nasa.gov/returntoflight/main/index.html - Cafemusique 00:17, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

Quote from that link (in case external page is edited):

NASA managers continue to analyze the issue with the Engine Cut-Off sensor on Space Shuttle Discovery's External Tank. The sensor protects an orbiter's main engines by triggering them to shut down in the event fuel runs unexpectedly low. For the moment, no new launch date for Discovery has been set. During the briefing, Space Shuttle Program Deputy Manager Wayne Hale said the most optimistic possibility for the next launch attempt could be as early as this Saturday, July 16. Additional information will be posted as it becomes available. (posted at 00;21 UTC)

Quick update, earliest launch date now pushed back to Sunday.--Loren 19:55, 14 July 2005 (UTC) From NY Times

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) -- NASA said Thursday that it will not make another attempt to launch space shuttle Discovery until at least Sunday -- and even that is a really optimistic good-luck scenario.

Deputy shuttle program manager Wayne Hale said the space agency still probably faces several days of troubleshooting to figure out what caused the faulty fuel-gauge reading that forced the cancellation of Wednesday's launch attempt.

The only way the shuttle would be able to fly on Sunday is if we go in and wiggle some wires and find a loose connection, said Hale, who conceded that was unlikely.

spaceflights each crew member completed

Since the current mission has not been completed these numbers appear to be off by one. Perhaps it would be better to say

spaceflights each crew member completed prior to this mission

and decrement each of the numbers. Pretzelpaws 18:09, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

I was thinking the exact same thing. --DNordquist 17:36, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

delay's effect on atlantis

i don't understand this part, isn't having more time to get atlantis ready a *good* thing? I guess I don't understand the arguments listed there in the article, or it's not clear.

wikinews link needs updating

the link to the wikinews article about "on indefinite hold" needs to be changed or removed.--mitrebox 16:26, 26 July 2005 (UTC) +Done I pinned one to the top (with a br tag underit so that the mission infobox still floated left) and one on the 26th. I left the previous news links on the days they occured --mitrebox 16:35, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

Tomf688: nice work on combining the wikinews links, it looks much better like this! – QuantumEleven | (talk) 17:30, July 26, 2005 (UTC)
