That's right, in about 20 minutes, Endeavour will execute it's De-Orbit burn, and land about 52 Minutes later in Florida You can watch it LIVE right here: [url]Http://www.nasa.gov/ntv[/url] Or open Windows Media Player and open this URL: [url]http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx[/url] *edit* They are GO for De-Orbit! There will be no canceled landing today, they're coming home, 13 minutes away from the burn

Oh, lazy NASA, stretching and shit.
Sweet, watching.
Awesome, watching right now
copy for the burn
It's interesting to see how mission control operates for a shuttle landing.
De-Orbit burn in progress, lasting for 2m 51s
By the way it's spelt 'Endeavour'
Lol, they are using windows XP :fuckyou:
Watch as it lands in some major city because some guy used the metric system instead of the American system of measurement. :911:
Wtf, is it upside down?
LOL they are using XP ! They should really upgrade to a better OS.
They're over Indonesia. :3:

[QUOTE=Tu154M;16392510]Wtf, is it upside down?[/QUOTE] Doesn't really matter in space.
[QUOTE=rosthouse;16392539]Doesn't really matter in space, does it?[/QUOTE] The heat shield is on the bottom so it does matter. Also, it's flying backwards. Where did they get that program.....
What the hell is happening.
holy shit ! it's gonna xplod !!
[QUOTE=Paravin;16392561]What the hell is happening.[/QUOTE] Just what i thought.
Flies backwards to do it's De-Orbit burn to slow itself down, It's also called an OMS Retrograde Burn, retrograde being when it's facing the opposite direction it's traveling
It's doing a... cartwheel..?
[QUOTE=Tu154M;16392551]The heat shield is on the bottom so it does matter. Also, it's flying backwards. Where did they get that program.....[/QUOTE] It's flying backwards because of the deorbit burn. So that the engines slow the ship down instead of accelerating it. After that they just pitch, which brings them back into the right position.
Man, they're pulling off some fancy stunts there in space.
they are preparing for entry
don't worry chaps it's levelling out
