Ping!

Well no, I just didn't get back today ... I've been lurking around for a week already, but without much new stuff to show .. well I didn't feel like posting was necessary. This month is looking rather exciting for the space enthusiast, with a Shuttle launch (up in orbiter now) and a Soyuz launch (to the ISS) soon after. Speaking of launch, while I was away, some of the Orbiter's folks have got together on a project to build a better version of the Baikonur launch site. The following screenshots (posted by Mustard) looks pretty promising:

Can't wait to launch our Soyuz from it :-)
