Really disappointed that FlightAware isn't tracking the flight live.
Their most recent data for NASA 905 is a week old! I used to get email alerts whenever the SCA's filed flight plans, departed, landed, etc.
Dunno what happened there.
Since there's shockingly been no thread about this...

I jumped ahead to preview the EDL phase, and they've done a wonderful job on the meshes and animations. (Almost like getting to run Orbiter on my Mac!)
Just found this trailer for a documentary that has apparently already been released...
Several clips from orbit... I wonder if they're gonna make the distinction that Spaceflight is "bad progress".
Actually, it was conceived as a 5-year story, and I know JMS explained what happened between Seasons 4 & 5 somewhere, but I can't find it.
It's probably buried among the "jms speaks" sections of one of the episode write-ups on the Lurker's Guide.
Yeah, the contra-rotating sections showed a nice grasp of physics, too.
Another little detail I really liked: Even though Quindar tones are no longer used in air-to-ground communication, at least the Archer folks didn't just insert a generic BEEP sound effect whenever anyone was talking (like...
Yuuuup! That's what was so cool: Nobody but us nerds would've noticed if they hadn't put those little details in there, but it's just nice that they did some homework!
I really loved the whole build-up to the "Danger Zone" line at the end, seeing as how it's been such a running gag all these years.
This week, the FX animated series Archer began a two-part story...
I thought they did a nice job on the artwork: good attention to detail on the high-tech elements (well, except for the 50s-style cruciform wings on the "Shuttle Intrepid"), and they actually paid attention to the physics of...
Totally awestruck by this production! Simply fantastic work!
But I'm quite perplexed as to why the two major science fiction sites I frequent, SF Signal & io9, haven't said one word about it!
I even tried emailing the creators of those sites, and got no response (so far).
