STS-134

[SlickRick]

Is that grumbling i hear about being old?, i've had the pleasure of seeing the mercury missions till present day shuttle launches, and it still thrills me to watch a launch. And i plan to be here a while longer as my age is only 55, hey does that qualify me for a discount on SSMS2 (wink, wink, nod, nod)

Do you think your're old, eh? what about 83 y/o (NOT me, one of our customers!)

You'll have to wait for @30 years for the discount. Maybe until then, we'll be seeing the first human being landing on Mars (or not).

And STS-134 is now NET April 29th, at 3:47 pm EDT, 7:47pm GMT.

Landing would be Friday, May 13th, if they don't extend the mission (which they should).

10 days till launch . . . STILL NO PRESS KIT!!  Cmon NASA wher is it !!??

[Cthulhus]

And hope that the mission will not be delayed and reported !

Has anybody noticed that the crew count is getting smaller? 

NASA has booked Soyuz flights to/from the ISS until 2016, that's a few hundred millions of $. Now that the ISS is complete, the only remaining things to move around is people and supplies (and burn garbage in the atmosphere). Soyuz can refresh expedition crews and ATV etc. can deal with supplies and garbage.

STS has done its job well.

More than STS?
Does that mean, in SSMS2 are not only historical missions (STS-1 to STS135) but as well other stuff?
E.g. the often asked for abort modes?

We already released sneak peeks at many improvements, but we're far from being done.

If it was only new missions and minor tweaks, we wouldn't have bothered with a new version. We'd only release more free Mission and Feature Packs
