Ngakhale kuti Lamlungu usiku kukhazikitsidwa kwa Discovery kunatsatira kuchedwa kwachisanu komwe kunachititsa kuti ntchitoyo ifupikitsidwe ndi tsiku limodzi ndikuyenda mlengalenga kudulidwa chifukwa cha nkhawa zomwe zimaphatikizapo ma valve a hydrogen ndi kutayikira kwa hydrogen kunabweza ndegeyo podutsa mwezi umodzi, kukhazikitsidwa kunapitirira ndi zikwi zambiri. owonerera ochokera padziko lonse lapansi akusangalala.

Kuchokera pamalo abwino kwambiri, msewu wa NASA, womwe ndi malo oyandikira kwambiri owonera anthu pafupifupi mamailosi asanu ndi limodzi kuchokera m'mphepete mwa mtsinje wa Banana, kuwonera matikiti kunaloledwa. Pamzerewu, mazana a anthu ochokera kubanja la VIP NASA ndi alendo komanso alendo okhazikika adasonkhana ndikudikirira kwa maola opitilira anayi mpaka kuwerengera ndikunyamuka.

Ali m'bwalo la Discovery Lolemba masana, oyenda mumlengalenga asanu ndi awiriwo adayendera mozama mapiko ndi mphuno za sitimayo ndi bomba la laser. Imeneyi inali njira yokhazikika tsiku lotsatira kukhazikitsidwa kuti muwone kuwonongeka kulikonse komwe kungachitike ponyamuka.

Nkhani ina, komabe, yabwereranso padziko lapansi - pansi. Anthu omwe adapita ku Cape Canaveral, osasamala kwa sekondi imodzi yamavuto azachuma omwe akuvutitsa America komanso vuto la ngongole ku Florida - zomwe zidapereka mwayi wabwino.

Ngakhale magalimoto anali atakwera pamzere, SR 328 ndi Interstate 95, kapena SR 3 kuchokera ku Merritt Island kapena Cocoa Beach, anthu otopa ndi kuyendetsa galimoto ndi / kapena kuwuluka anapita kukawona Discovery. Chiwonetsero, kukhazikitsidwa komwe kudayimitsidwa kangapo, komaliza kwapitilira. Inali nthawi yachikondwerero mkati mwa kuchepa kwachuma komwe kunatsimikizira kuti sikungalepheretse anthu kupita ku Cape Canaveral.

Pamodzi ndi magulu ochokera ku Japan, pafupifupi anthu 200 a ku Puerto Rico anaulukira ku Florida akutamanda wopenda zakuthambo Joseph Acaba.

Mwayi wanga - kukumana ndi banja la Acaba mphindi 9 tisananyamuke. Blanca Lopez, azakhali ake a Acaba omwe anawulukira kuchokera ku Riverside, CA, anakhala pambali panga. Malinga ndi iye, Joe adasankhidwa m'kaundula wa aphunzitsi mumlengalenga. "Joe, wokulira ku Anaheim, ndi mphunzitsi wa sayansi yemwe ali ndi [digirii] mu geology.

" Lopez adati akadapita kutali kuti akalimbikitse mzimu wa mphwake, m'malo mwa Puerto Rico ndi Senate ya US yomwe idapatsa Acaba ulemu wapamwamba posachedwa.

Msuweni wake wa Joe, a Marco Acaba waku Puerto Rico, adati gulu la abwenzi apamtima ndi achibale adawuluka nthawi zambiri, tsiku lomaliza lokhazikitsa lisanafike. Ananena kuti pamene ntchito yoyambirira ya Feb. 12 idachotsedwa, ndikutsatiridwa ndi Marichi 11 ndi Lamlungu lomaliza la Marichi 15, adapitilizabe kubwerera ku Florida kuchokera ku Puerto Rico. "Ndege zachindunji zochokera kumudzi kwathu zimakhala pafupifupi $119 paulendo uliwonse, nthawi 4 (zomwe amalipira maulendo onse). Sindikufuna kuchitira Joe, "adatero, ndikuwonjezera, "Ndikufuna kuwona pulogalamu yam'mlengalenga ikupitilirabe ngakhale chuma chathu chafooka. Ndi sayansi ndipo tiyenera kumvetsetsa malo ndi nyanja, dziko lozungulira ife / kunja kwa ife, ndi kupititsa patsogolo umunthu. Ndikofunikira, "adatero Acaba. Ananenanso kuti ngakhale msuweni wake, a Joe, ali paulendo womaliza pomwe NASA isiya ntchitoyo, azigwirabe ntchito ku NASA ngakhale atagwira ntchito yake. Chifukwa chake munthawi ngati izi, makampani opanga mlengalenga amafunikira antchito ake kuti apitilize kusuntha chuma chofunikira kwa mamiliyoni olembedwa ntchito ndi NASA, Kennedy Space Center complex, zokopa alendo ndi mabizinesi ena ofananira.

Msuweni wina wa Acaba anakwera ndege kuchokera ku CA. Edward Velasquez waku Los Angeles adati mwina adawononga ndalama pafupifupi $400 ndipo ndalama zomwe zidasinthidwanso $300 zimawononga ndalama zopitilira $1000 kuphatikiza ndege, kubwereketsa magalimoto kawiri motsatizana. "Inde, zonse m'dzina la chilumba cha Puerto Rico, dzikolo ndi msuweni wanga," adatero ndikuwonjezera kuti akufuna kuti pulogalamu ya mlengalenga ikhale ndi moyo poyang'anizana ndi vuto lazachuma. "Zambiri zatuluka pulogalamu ya NASA. Kuyenda mumlengalenga sikuyenera kutha; ndikofunikira kuti US ipitilize ndi mapulogalamu. Tatha kupindula m'misewu yathu yayikulu, ukadaulo komanso zokopa alendo ndi mautumiki apamlengalenga. Ndipo ngati Space Center itatsekedwa, pakhala anthu ambiri omwe adzakhala opanda ntchito, mwina pafupifupi 30,000.

Makampani opanga zakuthambo ku Florida atha kuwona kuti shuttle yomaliza inyamuka koma zatsimikizira kuti mapulogalamu amlengalenga ku Cape Canaveral apitiliza kukokera anthu. Kennedy Space Center imati chaka chilichonse, alendo opitilira 1.5 miliyoni ochokera padziko lonse lapansi amakumana ndi ulendo wawo wamumlengalenga popanda akatswiri odziwika bwino a mumlengalenga omwe amalimbikitsidwa ndi turbo. The 70-acre Visitor Complex imapereka zochitika zosangalatsa zakale, zamakono komanso zam'tsogolo kuchokera ku Shuttle Launch Experience yatsopano, kukumana ndi astronaut mpaka mafilimu akuluakulu a IMAX, ziwonetsero zamoyo, zochitika, mapulogalamu a maphunziro achinyamata ndi kumbuyo- maulendo owonera malo a Space Center complex.
