Howdy Space fans!

The date for the rescheduled STS-122 Atlantis mission has been announced. Unfortunately it’s outside of our working hours, but should be fun anyway. You can watch it at home if you are geek enough, http://www.nasa.gov

In other news, a huge bus sized US military satellite is due to crash land somewhere on earth soon. Should be a lot of fun. Check out the news stories Here and Here – hysterical stuff!

For more fun links to “when space things go bad” give these two clips a spin, both are of the same event, the launch of a US Delta 2 rocket back in ’97 carrying a military GPS sat. I hope the crew of the soon to launch STS-122 don’t watch this!
