<p>On STS-98 it's time for the ISS crew to meet its Destiny. Oh wait, does everyone make that joke? How about "Destiny is on the manifest"? No, I already used that in the title. OK, let's go with "humanity's Destiny is...
The Space Above Us
<p>On STS-97 the Space Shuttle is delivering its heaviest ISS payload yet: the P6 truss. We'll climb high above the payload bay, consider some strange analogies, and both slack off and tense up. Most of that will make...

The Space Above Us
<p>On STS-99 we'll be studying the Earth in a whole new dimension, using fancy radar tricks to scan nearly the entire planet in 3D! Close and lock your visors and put on your 3D glasses now!</p> <p>Show notes...
The Space Above Us
<p>The Hubble Space Telescope couldn't wait until the year 2000 for a visit, while the Space Shuttle's computers couldn't handle the year 2000 at all. With the clock ticking, will the crew of STS-103 be able to save the...
<p>On STS-93 we've got a ton of stuff to do in a mission lasting less than five days. We'll break another glass barrier, we'll put the redundancy of the Space Shuttle Main Engines to the test, and we'll explore the...
