A friend of mine who works at NASA they hear the "open the pod bay doors" line about a thousand times a day from tourists who think they're the first ones to say it. The tour guides will make a point of avoiding the "nit wits" and spending a lot more time with people who ask intelligent questions.

[ie210]

i think they took those fans out recently....they should really put them back in! When i went in there, it smelt like a mix of vomit and sweaty gym socks! YUCK!

[Ladiesman217n]

open the pod bay doors hal lmao

[ct92404]

That's pretty cool. I wish I could have seen that!

lol...1992?? I would have been a kid, about 13 or 14 years old then :)

[Olebruc]

@ct92404 aww I was 1 year old!

[ingareinar007]

Yes, I think i saw HAL in there, hehe.. Cool stuff!

[zeppelinboys]

We went to Florida two weeks ago and saw this exact same thing. It's was pretty cool! That new Space Launch ride thing was all right but It was too hyped up.

[Zoroasterrrr]

wow I could just imagine myself craping my pants as the earth passed in front of the windshield....

[fighterpilot122]

they still have a mockup you can walk through

[cheech113]

what, no flux capacitor ?

[Hoerentoeter74]

88 miles per hour!!! :D

[Cartuner25]

More like 8,888 miles per hour! lol

[ct92404]

In orbit, more like 17,000 miles per hour :)

Mach 25

[Eagle1Division2]

@ct92404 You're two machs and 500 mph short.

Which is really weird since 1 mach is 740 mph.

I need to check my numbers again...

@adiblasi Great! It comes with a manual! You know they're selling off the shuttles when they retire*, and I was thinking of buying one. They're only a few dozen million or so. Great to know there's a manual that comes with it.

Hmm...

*SRB's, External Tank, VAB, crawler, pad, fuel, and other vital components sold separately.

Price might go up a little for a launch...

[DimsimMaster]

@cheech113 LOL

Adam B is wearing a pretty snazzy watch.

[ThisIsAdamB]

Ah, the old Casio calculator watch. No long-haired nerd could be seen without one back then. I might still have it packed away somewhere...

[calsonicSTi]

I use to have one of those around that time. But I was about 8 in 1992. I thought it was cool. haha

[mYOzZyKaT]
