Hi everybody

Many thanks to all lucky observers under favorable latitudes for
describing your observations. I'm way too far north (45°) and even tough
I watched the Nasa TV feed on the net (not terrible on my slow
connection), your descriptions are the most interesting to me.

Many of you described a "water dump"; can someone explain what's the
reason for the shuttle for dumping water out in space ?

I look forward to the upcoming STS-99 mission, the Shuttle Radar
Topography Mission, which should provide good observation oppotunities
to all of us since the Shuttle will be at a relatively low altitude (126
nautical miles) and on a 57° orbit.

In the mean time, happy holidays to all and have a good Y2K party !

Pat
