··Nowhere near as grumpy as he used to be...I'm watching the NASA stream currently.
Robert Behnken is wearing an X-33 on a long velcro strap there was a clear shot of it.

Well, had no idea this was happening today, so thanks for the thread. Couple of things though that strike me with the way this is presented...
The host sounds like he's presenting an infomercial, and I suppose in many respects he is. Very different from the old days in the way things are being presented.
The second is, I can barely believe that they are sending Bob and Doug to space...
Take off, eh...
So I understand they are using Nitrox in the cabin ( higher percentage oxygen with less nitrogen) I am surprised the suits are not 100% o2 like the old suits for more safety vs the bends in case of depressurization.
They used to pre-breath O2 for about an hour to remove all nitrogen.
Thanks for the watch ID--I spent 15 minutes tryign to get a good grab then came here figuring you guys would have it figured out.
But the other one? Looks like half an IPhone-sized digital widget-watch? Any idea what that is?
