Live: After The Shuttle Lands, We Panel
Here it is, then, the final episode of Sidepodpanel for the first series. It’s been an amazing run, so many good thoughts and subtle mentions of Franck. Our final show is ably hosted by Steven Roy who has become something of a regular on the panel, and should know how to handle us rowdy lot.
For a while it seemed as though we wouldn’t have anybody on the panel to talk, but we may just be able to fill up this last show. Join us in the comments, if you’re not on the show itself, as anyone can get points.

November 30th, 2008 at 21:11Steven Roy said:
The space shuttle is about to land. Still doing Mach 13 and 800 miles to go
November 30th, 2008 at 21:11Bassano Clapper said:
Must have some decent airbrakes / spoilers to lose that much speed

Isn’t that called ‘the atmosphere’?

November 30th, 2008 at 21:12Steven Roy said:
They basically use the bottom of it for that. They are past maximum temperature so should be OK now
November 30th, 2008 at 21:12Alex Andronov said:
