    That's Skat! In my opinion... a much better shuttle for circling the earth. ;)

    Simply amazing...

    The technology to put us in space.
    The technology for us to watch.

    My friends and I will be attempting to make radio contact with the crew via HAM radio during CS's stay on the ISS.

    Not only can we watch, we can talk with them too!!!!

    Not to side-track this thread, but Charles in Space should be nominated for a Web Award. The interface and layout is excellent.

    Thanks William!
