Of course we are, nothing special yet, hopefully we will soon see Armadillo. They just showed a little clip with the armadillo craft on there trug, but that was it... _________________

Posted on: Fri Oct 20, 2006 3:34 pm As of a few minutes ago, the Armadillo team was moving the Pixel craft around. I have a couple of screen caps, but no way to upload them on this board?
 I did at http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/forums ... 855#M77855
(I hope it's not a bannable offence linking to another spaceflight forum...) |

Posted on: Fri Oct 20, 2006 5:47 pm I don't know about you folks, but after accidentally navigating away from the video page, I can't get it to work at all anymore.

Freaky, it works perfectly here.. it most likely means the server it connects to is too bussy (too slow to send you the video feed)... I would say.. keep trying.. and if nothing.. reload.. and try again! I'm myself wondering when we get more info from Armadillo on the live video feed! _________________ Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible. - Lord Kelvin, 1892 |

Posted on: Fri Oct 20, 2006 7:07 pm Armadillo is now almost 2 hours into their 2.5 hour window, and haven't lifted off yet. I really doubt they will be able to pull off a flight, refuel, another flight, and recovery in half an hour.
