The Telescope has a birthday, SpaceX and China have something to celebrate together and we as a space community are just a little confused. Maybe a just a jump to the left and then a step to the right, with your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight… nah maybe not.
This and so much more on this “Two steps forward, one step back” episode #026!

This is the last time two space shuttles are scheduled to be on both launch pads at the same time. This even has not happened since 2001, and it is a rarity that is an amazing sight. After Space Shuttle Atlantis launches (no earlier than October 14th, 2008) Space Shuttle Endeavour will be [...]

The rollout of Space Shuttle Endeavour for the Launch On Need 400 mission should Space Shuttle Atlantis be crippled on STS-125. Both Atlantis and Endeavour are now at the launch complexes at the same time making for an amazing view.

China nearly doubles their astronaut roster, Russia doubles their funding… and decided to build a space center in Cuba. We also take a look at OnOrbit.com, and talk endlessly about the upcoming STS-125 with Space Shuttle Atlantis (OV-104) and as a backup Space Shuttle Endeavour (OV-105).
