| In
the split screen animated views of the Discovery, it

Hubert J.M. Roborgh, of Vlissingen, The Netherlands
Zeeland asks the question: |
| Dear
Sirs, Ladies. I am an avid follower of both Mir ISS,
and Shuttle activities, but now there seems to be a
mixup of timezones. Actual launch time of STS-96 was
12.51 Dutch Summer Time on saturday, as seen on Live
CNN broadcast.This is 10.51 UTC. As I checked URL shuttle.nasa.gov/index-n.html
at 10.44 Dutch Summer Time it stated time to launch
3 hrs, 7 mins. So, 10.44 plus 3.07 makes 13.51. This
gives a time difference of one hour!!! Where did I go
wrong??? Many Greetings from Hubert J.M. Roborgh. ANSWER |
