Awsome

Anyone who doesn't take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted with large ones either by Albert Einstein.

Sounds exciting (more than particle physics, if you ask me).

STS-130 launch scrubbed.
scrub due to weather constraints (clouds) at end of T-9 built-in hold.
launch re-scheduled: Monday, Feb. 8 at 4:14 a.m. EST
re-use ORION111 links near top of this page.

I thought they'd canned the moon project but at the same time they've actually increased NASA's budget ? Or have I misunderstood ?
Similar issues to colliders, projects are now so large that they struggle to survive changes of governments.

I have read that some cooling solutions developed for the satellite were working so surprisingly well that they were applied in LHC as well.
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.

cryogenics in sattelites is nothing really new since they already often used sensors or cameras which had to be operated at almost 0°k.
