Commander Ham a écrit:Raaah des bonnes nouvelles pour cette mission riche en évènements très intéressant. J'ai l'impression que depuis STS 118, les équipes fonctionnement de mieux en mieux. Peut être le respect à tout prix de l'échéance de 2010 pour l'arrêt des navettes donne-t-il des ailes à la NASA...

A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY -- Stormtroopers, beware. Astronauts on NASA’s next shuttle flight to the International Space Station plan to wield an epic piece of movie memorabilia -- a lightsaber from the original Star Wars series.

The prop, used by Luke Skywalker in Return of the Jedi, will be stowed aboard the Discovery orbiter on its scheduled Oct. 23 launch from Kennedy Space Center, said Julie Kuenstle a spokeswoman for Space Center Houston.

But before its date with destiny, the Jedi weapon is expected to receive the royal treatment from a long line of (die-hard) fans. See the release below.

"As Star Wars celebrates its 30th Anniversary, Luke Skywalker’s original Jedi lightsaber will head into space with NASA astronauts on the space shuttle DISCOVERY in October. Chewbacca will officially hand the lightsaber over to NASA’s Space Center Houston during a ceremony at the Oakland International Airport.

The ceremony will include characters from a galaxy far, far away including Boba Fett, Jango Fett and X-Wing pilots, Jedi, and Stormtroopers. This will be followed by a spectacular departure aboard a Southwest Airlines flight as Chewbacca and his galactic friends help push back the airplane on the tarmac.

Once the flight lands in Houston, Stormtroopers will help escort the lightsaber off the plane as R2-D2 and other famous Star Wars characters kick-off the second half of the celebration at gate # 47 in William P. Hobby Airport.

The fanfare will conclude outside baggage claim where the lightsaber will be transported by a caravan of Hummers with an official City of Webster police escort to NASA’s Space Center Houston where it will be on display through Labor Day."
