be brought forward.
The report is probably available on the web site www.rt.com
They also said that a satellite launched on August 18th (The EDUSAT
launch?) suddenly veered off course. - Not sure if this was a single satellite or the whole launch vehicle
I guess the ISS Crew is going to have to brush up on their "rock, paper, scissors" skills to see who gets dessert until another supply rocket is shot up!
[I am only kidding, I read already they have enough supplies to last them till the next supply ship is launched]
With that said, I am very curious on what is NASA's contingency plan if our Russian friends for whatever reason can't or won't deliver fulfill their promise?

Well, I remember seeing it as an ABC Movie of the Week or something, so you can't be that much older than me. The cool stuff I remember is that I believe audio was caught from the Plantronics headsets in the spacecraft. Also, if I remember correctly, I think there were quindars in comms from the ground. I wanna see if Netflix has it...I wanna see it again all of the sudden. 73, Jeff WB2SYK
