If you followed the link to Space.com; you might have noticed a poll for the best space song. I think a BA thread would probably be a better way to determine the best space song. The Space.com list is pretty foul.

Maybe you were thinking of the launch date for Servicing Mission 4. August 24 is pretty close to one of the earlier launch dates for SM4, but it's been early October for a couple months now (currently Oct. 5). Which is a good thing because on August 24 the ACS repair hardware will still be in this big blue vacuum chamber here. Seems like a fair trade; 6 weeks later launch in exchange for ACS working again, wouldn't you say? Yeah, Phil, where’d you get August out of April?
