   Beautiful photos, egregious and cujo.
   Here is a disturbing story about how unmanned science missions
   like the Hubble are being put in danger
   by the Bush wrecking crew’s policies at NASA.

   Here’s a large picture of Hubble as seen from the departing Atlantis:

   The STS-125 crew aboard space shuttle Atlantis captured this still image of the Hubble Space Telescope as the two spacecraft begin their relative separation on May 19, 2009, after having been linked together for nearly a week. During the week, five spacewalks were performed to complete the final servicing mission to the telescope.

    Shuttle update:

    “Go” Given for Payload Bay Door Closure
    Sun, 24 May 2009 05:58:16 AM EDT

    Mission Control has given a “go” for payload bay door closure, timelined to begin at 6:17 a.m. EDT. Weather is still being monitored at Kennedy Space Center before the crew suits up as planned at 7:35 a.m.

    Alantis Given “Go” for Edwards
    Sun, 24 May 2009 10:09:00 AM EDT

    Mission Control has decided to target Edwards for today’s landing since the weather at Kennedy is unstable. The deorbit burn is timelined to begin at 10:24 a.m. EDT for an 11:39 a.m. landing at Edwards. The burn lasts three to four minutes, slowing Atlantis enough to begin its descent.
