44 hours to dock! Gotta love the NASA people. So honest about what they really do up there...
Think we will get some live video from space?
Yes, but it will be airbrushed.

In a simple world, could a shuttle be launched into an orbit that would be X number of minutes (behind) the target, then whilst on station use the RCS system 'catch-up', as it were? Too much additional thrust would boost to a higher orbit, so this is a delicate thing. However, using the RCS would allow a 'fine-tuning' as the more maneuverable Shuttle approached the ISS. Once in the vicinity, the Shuttle would be 'steered', that is, re-oriented graduslly and slowly coaxed into position for the docking.
Having said this, as a thought excerise...one still must find a way to reconcile why it takes approx 29 orbits (44 hours at 90 minutes, or so, per orbit).

Having said that - you may consider me a nut, if you must - if there is ANY possiblity of extraterrestrial technology having been obtained/negotiated in any way, and being used by Governments while being kept secret for whatever reason, then I feel a sense of outrage at the prospect.
I wrote somewhere else, regarding Einstein, wondering what HE would think of modern Physics theory, i.e., string theory for one, if he were alive today? Point is, knowledge and are boundaries of learning should keep marching on.
John Lear would probably refer to these particles as microscopic demons controlled by a giant pulsating brain in the center of Sun, while deriding Einstein's lack of understanding all the way.
Originally posted by weedwhacker I was simply thinking that THIS thread is about something else, that's all.
Perhaps you'd consider posting/starting a thread on the subject of chemtrails?

...AND, what, exactly does HAARP have to do with this thread, Zorgon? I only suggested subjects like HAARP and 'chemtrails' maybe aren't part of Discovery and SSSs, that's all.

BUT, will we ever reach the top?
According to Capt Lear and Zorgon there will never be Full Disclosure, not officially anyway. We have to fill in the blanks,
and certain threads are specific to certain subjects, no?

So... Atlantis is launching on Thursday. I trust that John Lear, Zorgon, etc. have all gotten their telescopes ready to prove their theory that the Shuttles are visiting Secret Space Stations. After all, it would involve nothing other than a consumer-grade telescope and knowledge of the launch time. That's it.
If you can't do that, at least find ANY discrepancy of where the Shuttle should be and
where it is according to NASA, and your theory will have gained a touch of credibility. All you need is a video camera, a clear night, and proof of the time (a GPS unit would suffice).
