STS-128 Shockwaves


We were on hand for the incredible night launch of STS-128. The Space Shuttle Discovery took off just before midnight on August 28, 2009. It’s the 128th shuttle flight.

We did something a little different for this video, we were at a viewing point three miles away. The camera is on a very smooth surface. The result is a pretty awesome representation of what the shockwaves feel like.

Take the time to see one of the remaining shuttle launches, it’s an experience you’ll never forget. More importantly, if you have children, give them the experience of a lifetime, by taking them to a launch. There’s plenty of information on the best viewing points for a shuttle launch. Check out SpaceFlightNow.com or NASA.gov for the schedule of the remaining flights.

STS-120 prepares for launch!

Space Shuttle Mission STS-120 is all fueled and waiting for launch! The Space Task Force has been busy working on the World Space Expo (coming up in only 9 days!) but we are taking a break to watch this amazing launch.

We’ll give you a quick update later today to discuss the launch and the latest space headlines. We’re still working out the technical requirements for our new video podcasts, so this may be a traditional audio-only recording.

Stay tuned as we prepare to launch here at the Kennedy Space Center!

iPhones in Space: STF Episode 10


“Roger, Houston. I have deployed the iPhone.
Now if I could just get it activated.”

Space Task Force Episode 10

Tim is back in studio to talk about his recent space adventures.

We also have a special guest from NASA’s Ames Research Center to talk about the role you can play in the NASA CoLab website.
My big question this week is – what if they’d had an iPhone during Project Apollo? Would we already be on Mars?
That and a Shuttle Launch Experience on this week’s SpaceTaskForce.

(as far as I know, NASA doesn’t endorse the iPhone, so apologies about the photo above…but still – it makes you wonder…)
