hubble confusion

When Michael Foale went up he took an awful lot of equipment with him just to "realign" the mirrors. It is my guess that he did an upgrade on the unit, after all it a "showcase" piece of gear!!

Michael Foale went up in the space shuttle to upgrade it about 3 yrs ago

a 32mb card to replace the 2mb one :D or to put another floppy disk in

Changed a valve apparently :D:D

There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore like an idiot!

the tire went flat

Believe NOTHING anyones says or writes unless you witness it yourself and even then your eyes can deceive you

None of this "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" crap it just means i have at least two enemies!

 

There is only one opinion i listen to ,its mine and its ALWAYS right even when its wrong

 

Its far easier to curse the darkness than light one candle

Grangers law : anything i say will  turn out the opposite or not happen at all!

I am sorry to admit this....

A few months ago, I couldn't sleep and spent a couple of hours in the early morning listening to the World Service. Michael Foale was interviewed and was talking about how he stripped out and upgraded a computer on an 8 hour space walk on that trip. The computer was to control, monitor and process images from the telescope.

 

 

His description was so vivid that it did absolutely nothing to help my insomnia!

This is a signature, there are many signatures like it but this one is mine
