FINAL NIGHT OF A SPACE SHUTTLE

Google+ Hangout Live from NASA

Yesterday we did a very cold live promote video hangout from NASA with Google+. We had people from all over the universe joining while we was on video on my laptop coming the launch pad.

Daily Photo – Final Night of the Space Shuttle

I was utterly dripping after laying in mosquito-invested waters for an uncomfortably long time. At one point, a endangered French headlines contributor came up to me and said, “Excuse me, but you’re quite lonesome in bugs.” It contingency have been pretty bad for him to come over and contend that… we think maybe he suspicion we was passed because we stayed in the same on all sides for so long, perplexing to zen-focus on the shot.

This is the Space Shuttle Atlantis, in box you do not know. It’s also the last space convey launch, ever. So, it’s incredibly special, and I’m happy we got to outlay time with the boat on the last night.

Bonus Photo – The Countdown Clock at Sunrise

And this is the important countdown clock. Scott Kublin and we woke up prior to 5 AM to begin environment up our remote cameras. One of them Leo Laporte Fed-exed to me overnight so we could have time to set it up… we put those inside the explosion section and set them up to automatically glow at the launch.

The big make up you see on the other side of the dwindle is the Vehicle Assembly Building, and that blue make up you see to the left is the important countdown-clock you regularly see in front of the press area prior to the launch.

Right as we was receiving this, an central woman from NASA ran into the margin notice me that this was now a “Level 2 lightning alert!” we occur to be station by another NASA Tweetup invitee, Lavar Burton. He asked, “Is that like a Level 3 diagnostic?” Greatness. He was a really cold guy, btw… we put up a print of us together over on my Facebook Page.
