AMC RULES 36,961 #7 Posted December 31, 2012 You can count on...at least nine more days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,126 #8 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) You can count on...at least nine more days. The clock is running. At 3 days the automatic sequencing will begin, at 15 hours the guidance will be internal and at 8 hours the ignition sequence will start. We are currently pressurizing the roundhood's main fuel tanks, all is go. Commander Craig reports "FEELS GOOD" Flight surgeon Stevasauras says blood pressure holding steady. We are nine days into the count.This is Tecky Launch Control Edited January 1, 2013 by squonk 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,961 #9 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) OK, "mission control"... sounds like you're celebrating new years over at the flight sturgeon's house tonight? Edited January 1, 2013 by 2+2=4sixtwelve's 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tunahead72 2,346 #10 Posted January 1, 2013 New rule -- Every time you change your RedSquare screen name, you have to order a new ID badge for the national Wheel Horse show in June. And then you have to display them all! :ychain: 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,126 #11 Posted January 1, 2013 OK, "mission control"... sounds like you're celebrating new years over at the flight sturgeon's house tonight? I'm an old NASA Junkie from the Gemini/Apollo days. I would fake being sick to stay home from school to watch launches. I've been finding NASA stuff on You Tube lately. They have recordings of the Flight Director's loop on missions. Hearing all the technical jargon during a crisis (Gemini 8, Apollo 12,13) is fascinating stuff. Jack King was my hero. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,961 #15 Posted January 1, 2013 7.6 million pounds of thrust...wonder how far that would launch a out into space? Just imagine, "to boldly go"...whoops...that's a different show. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 39,126 #16 Posted January 1, 2013 I like on the loop when someone says That was some simulation! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,961 #17 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) We'll have to get you a tin can to talk into Mike... so you can walk around at the big show providing commentary that sounds like Jack King. Edited January 1, 2013 by 2+2=4sixtwelve's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
