This happen today? I don't remember him pitching but I do follow the Dodgers from time to time and he has been the subject of stories told by Vin Scully.

Totally official (next up D11 !!!)

"Sea Launch has successfully completed the Thuraya-3 mission. A Sea Launch Zenit-3SL rocket lifted off from the Odyssey Launch Platform at 3:49 am PST. All phases of the flight profile performed as expected. The mission ended with spacecraft separation from the Block DM upper stage, placing the Thuraya-3 communications satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit. A ground station at Fillmore, California, USA, acquired the spacecraft signal shortly after spacecraft separation. All systems are operating nominally.

Sea Launch's Zenit-3SL rocket resumes operations with this flight, carrying the Boeing-built Thuraya-3 mobile communications satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit. Once operational, this satellite will expand Thuraya's network coverage to include all key markets of the Asia Pacific region."

I was wondering where you were. I hope you've got all your affairs in order cause I think your time on earth is limited.

If this forum is anything like what it was for D10....expect some needed space by the Admin for the all traffic soon to come

"Live" would be either HD LIL or a HD National Channel transmitting to everyone and in the Guide.

I'm stickin with 4/23/2008. Thinking it may be a week or two later but hoping for a launch in early March from the equator with quick movement (within 6 weeks) to 99 degrees.

Plus 100's of HD LiL's

Including new DMA's and continued expansion in existing DMAs
