Links: | Shuttle Status | AP | 1 |December 7 (Day 341, Happiness): The Orbiter Endeavour landed successfully on Runway 33 at Kennedy Space Center, Florida to complete the STS-113 Mission. The Florida weather was good with scattered clouds and winds of 8 knots gusting to 13 knots with 7 knot cross winds. The crew spent three extra days in orbit waiting for the weather elephant over Florida to clear to permit a landing under NASA's conservative flight rules.
Land times were:
Landing was at 2:37/12 PM EST, where 37 is for a warrior, and 12 is for authority. Iraq turned in their weapons list today to the United Nations. This is significant because UN Resolution 1441 required Iraq to turn over the list by tomorrow, Day 342, for Baal, the bear, and Russia. However, today was Day 341, for happiness. The signs continue to indicate that God has spared Iraq.
Today was December 7th, for the completion of a category. NASA's STS-113 Mission was completed along with the work of the Expedition 5 Crew, which returned today.

December
4 (Day 338,
Purifying Judgment of Dying in the Wilderness): NASA
waved off two opportunities to land at Kennedy Space Center due to low
clouds. The first landing opportunity was borderline, but it was
the best opportunity forecast for the next two days. The second opportunity
was a little worse. The picture of the Florida sunset at the time
of the second landing opportunity does not reveal any foreboding clouds.
The Orbiter could have landed easily in spite of a few clouds. It
is even equipped with a microwave scan beam landing system that has never
been used for landing.
It was Day 338, for the purifying Judgment of the Holy Spirit of Dying in the Wilderness. The weather elephant over Louisiana sent the clouds to Florida that scared NASA. This story has been repeated many times in the Shuttle history. Whatever Christian is supposed to provide the blessing for landing appears to have never arrived. The weather elephant over Louisiana correlates to the new NASA Administrator, Sean O'Keefe, who is from Louisiana. Deming always said, "Quality comes from the top." O'Keefe is a professor of economics. What's he doing in charge of NASA? According to Romans 13, the Lord appoints authorities for the job that needs doing. That job appears to be economics.

It marked a significant occasion because the number, 5, has represented the curse of the giant, Baal. The number, 6, stands for a man. Today was Day 333, which represents the purification of the Holy Spirit, which is like a hurricane, or whirlwind.
Links: | Space.Com | CNN | Shuttle Status Report | Liftoff Status | JSC | Mission |November 23 (Day 327, Horn): The STS-113 Space Shuttle was successfully launched from Kennedy Space Center Florida tonight at 7:49/47 PM EST (0049/47 GMT) under partly cloudy skies. There were a couple of technical problems, which posed no threat to the mission. There was in internal hydraulic leak in the Orbiter Access Arm, and the a ball valve in the Right Orbital Maneuvering System (OMS) indicated that it was stuck open at 96 %. However, the Left OMS engine was fired in the cross feed configuration for the OMS burn, and it worked fine.
In keeping with the spirit of the STS-113 Mission, which features a horn through a ring, the symbol of adultery, on the mission patch, NASA Administrator, Sean O'Keefe, wore his horn symbol and made a horn sign during a news conference. His maroon colored shirt represented justice, or judgment. Today was November 23rd, for a Spiritual uptrend. It was Day 327, for the judgment (300) of a horn (27).
In flight, the Left OMS engine was used for the OMS burn after a ball valve apparently stuck in the Right OMS. The Port 1 (left) Integrated Truss Assembly (P1) will also be installed during this mission. Thus, the emphasis is already on the left. The left side represents the temporal, while the right represents the spiritual. The failure in the Right OMS represents a spiritual failure that was not handled and, thus, impacted the left side. In Marriage Culture, the woman is symbolically on the right and the man on the left.
Shortly after launch, a jet fuel spill shut down Terminal B of Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport around 9:00 PM CST. The spill was caused by a stuck valve, which is similar to the problem with the OMS valve in the Shuttle. The pollution of the fuel leak is also similar to the fuel oil that polluted the beaches in Spain. The previous launch attempt was scrubbed due to rain in Spain. The pollution in Houston and Spain represents female fornication in Marriage Culture (Jeremiah 3:1-9). The STS-113 Mission patch features a horn through a ring, the symbol of adultery. Houston is the home of the lead NASA center for the Shuttle Program.

Another launch attempt is planned for tomorrow. A weather elephant was over Spain.
Links:| Space.Com | Countdown | Shuttle Status Report | Liftoff Status | JSC | Mission Patch | Mission | Schedule |November 10 (Day 314, Passover): The launch of STS-113 was scrubbed due to a gaseous oxygen leak. The leak is in a line that supplies oxygen to the crew cabin. Additional troubleshooting will be required to isolate and correct the problem before a new launch time is announced. The current plan is to attempt to launch the night of November 18th.
A small leak of 600 Standard Cubic Inches per Minute was detected in Gaseous Oxygen Supply System 2. The leak has been isolated to a part of the midbody under the Payload Bay.
Links: | Space.Com | Countdown | Shuttle Status Report | Liftoff Status | JSC | Mission Patch | Mission | Schedule | CNN |November 8 (Day 312, Authority): The Launch Countdown for NASA's STS-113 Mission is underway with Launch scheduled for November 11th 12:58/40 AM EST (0558/40 GMT). Orbiter Endeavour (OV-105) will deliver the Expedition 6 crew to the International Space Station and the Expedition 5 crew will return to Earth. The Port 1 Integrated Truss Assembly (P1) will also be installed. It will be the first truss segment on the left side of the ISS. P1 will provide three additional External Thermal Control System radiators to the three radiators on the Starboard 1 (S1) Integrated Truss Assembly. The installation of P1 will require three space walks. This will be the 16th Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station.
Two of the original astronauts scheduled to fly on STS-113 had to be removed for health reasons. During the summer, Donald Thomas was removed and a couple of weeks later in August, Shuttle pilot Christopher "Gus" Loria hurt his back at home and was removed. They were replaced by Donald Pettit and Paul Lockhart. Pettit will go up as an Expedition 6 crew member, and Lockhart will be the Shuttle pilot.
The number, 113, stands for the witness of the double blessing of Israel.
The
Expedition 6 patch is shaped like an arrow or spear head with smooth corners.
A spear is used for close fighting in combat. The evil king has to
be defeated in hand-to-hand combat. The patch features the strategic
path of the US-Russian partnership with the two flags through the bottom
corners. This is a partnership with Baal. It is like a marriage
under Baal. The silhouette of the Space Station at the top of the
patch and the orbital trajectory represent the return of the Lord Jesus
Christ at the Second Advent to conquer the enemies of Israel. The
Sunburst represents an explosion. The number, 6, represents man.
The Space Station silhouette can also represent a Global Positioning Satellite
or even a helicopter in a battle scene.
Not since Apollo 13 has a NASA astronaut had to be removed for health reasons. This time there were two. The last was removd with an injured back, which represents being taking out of the battle as with a broken back. The red name plates on the STS-113 Mission patch represent suffering.
Both the STS-113 Mission patch and the Expedition 6 International Space Station patch represent the Battle of Armageddon at the Second Advent. Orion, the Mighty Warrior, is featured on the STS-113 Mission patch, and a spearhead and orbital path from the north are featured on the Expedition 6 patch. Heaven is in the north. Every eye will see the Lord, the Mighty Warrior and Son of Man, at the Second Advent because He will orbit the globe (Revelation 1:7; Daniel 7:13). The number, 113, stands for the witness of the double blessing of Israel, and 6 stands for man. During Expedition 5, NASA canceled large projects due to cost overruns from dealing with the Russians. During Expedition 6, there will be large layoffs (manpower reductions in force (RIF's)).
