SteveL Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 As the hubble never never visible from the UK (it never strays too far from the equator), i am pretty sure they wont be passing over us for this mission Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkis Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just read a report that the Shuttles heat shield was hit with some debris during the launch. Preliminary report said the damage is slight. Let's hope so.Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
