They didn't do it with the previous missions, perhaps too high risk $:-\$

Who wants to see the launch, you can watch it live here (or you can watch on NASA TV on your television if you have it):

They do broadcast it live actually.

I even posted a link to the broadcast, but I guess most of you missed it but it's here above in the quote.

how are they going to finish the ISS?

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #58 on:** July 18, 2011, 17:14:14 »

I think it is near completed now

anything else will have to go up by cargo rocket

Ahh

NASA has gone back recently - they are losing a lot of budget and are having to make lots of cuts :/

so who will finish the ISS

The Ferry Man · « **Reply #64 on:** July 18, 2011, 19:49:32 »

As I said I think it is near finished

the Russians can still launch stuff, as can ESA, and NASA still has some cargo rockets

assassinator2.0 · « **Reply #65 on:** July 18, 2011, 19:51:49 »

Damn, I missed it also. I can't believe it because I am a huge fan of space and such. BIG shame, but at least we can keep track of the russian space missions and such, it's not like humans have stopped going into space
