  - We've ahd long drawn out discussions on this before, but the closest we've gotten to agreement on it is that while there is definite racist component - the liioulu with lots o rain Oct 14, 13:07 3

- So right now Endeavour is the world's largest RC toy? -- nm - the liioulu with lots o rain Oct 14, 13:08

- "Endeavour is traveling at just 2 miles per hour so its 12-mile journey down the streets of Los Angeles will take several days" -- nm - marcel Oct 14, 12:47 1

based on the top speed I saw, looks like he didn't break the speed of sound... -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 11:31 3
- CNN was just speculating that he did break it based on the speeds showing on the feed but that's not official -- nm - zork Oct 14, 11:45
- So he went too fast to set the duration record, but not fast enough to break the speed of sound? Sounds like should have started at a higher altitude. -- nm - mara Oct 14, 11:41
- I suspect intervention by Time Cops -- nm - zork Oct 14, 11:31

- I don't think so, at least not without paying for it. -- nm - Stephen, Shaking Down The Thunder! Oct 14, 11:23
I'm shocked that they didn't have a close-up of him chugging a Red Bull after touchdown -- nm - zork Oct 14, 11:21 3

- too fast -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 14, 11:14 2
  - Patrick Swayze would have gotten it -- nm - Beaker Oct 14, 11:14 1
    - Chuck Norris would have done it without a pressuresuit - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 14, 11:16

(The space jump is live on the Discovery Channel live right now as well) -- nm - JaxSean Oct 14, 11:01
I can't watch that live. I don't have a good feeling about this. And I get an impression he doesnt either. Hoping for the best. -- nm - Zunk xometimes Oct 14, 10:56 3
