Bonus factoid: Ramses VI took the throne in 1143. His birth name was Nebmaatra Meryamun ("Lord of Justice is Re, Beloved of Amun"). Where else have we heard that Beloved of Amun name recently?

Like Clockwork
So after opening ISiS' solar wings on the Equinox, NAZCA NASA had their last spacewalk for this very interesting mission on the ancient Feast Day of Isis. The walk was scheduled to begin at 11:43 AM EST and ended at 6:04 PM.

Chris,
Unfortunately it WAS NOT the Feast Day of ISIS!
You missed the disclaimer on that calendar information which reads:
The festival calendar of celebrations does not ... reflect the rituals/festivals calendar of any group in operation today. The list is for entertainment purposes only
we could say it was as equally appropriate:
The celebration of the opening of the doors at Karnak.
and the Egyptian festivals/celebrations usually last more than a single 24hr day (which was actually three periods of 8hr with different "gods/rulers" for each).
The ancient Egyptians had 3 weeks per month of 10 days each. With 12 months (12x30), they had 360 days and 5 epagomenal to their yearly calendar.
The festival dates are calculated based on positions of several stars of Egyptian and Greek astronomy.
Keep your eye out for the Rectified Egyptian Festival Calendar on my blog... I know...it is coming and I want this one to be a very accurate resource for everyone. So there's plenty of triple-checking (or much more) involved.

Hey, don't tell me, tell NASA.
I think NASA knows!
Opening the panels would be the symbolic "opening of the doors".

The panels were opened on the 20th.
Sorry I didn't clarify that post ...
(It made sense to me when I typed it! But re-reading it I can see the confusion.)
Last spacewalk @ 3/23/2009 at 11:43am (EDT)
Symbolically reflecting the EXACT UTC time of the Equinox (Equin(e)-OX) at the ISS (which occured on 3/20), and WAS at UTC 11:43 am. (or 07:43 am EDT = 7:7 )
The two events (panels and last walk) are reflecting each other.
3/20 - On which the ISS panels opened
(for ISiS as RNNWTT (Renenutet)
3/23 11:43 EDT - And then for the walk they had to "Open the Doors"
(and I still guess we don't have to tell NASA ! ;)

speaking of 3/23.... http://news.yahoo.com/nphotos/US-President-Barack-Obama/photo//090324/ids_photos_india_wl/ra3659298402.jpg//s:/ap/20090324/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama
How about this, I was flipping channels on the idiot box to see how the wonderfully unfit are "living" and CNN had Obama talking to the astronauts, saying something about "17, 000
miles an hour" or some such nonsense. :D
Also noticed a sickening eugenics like AD for TLC show regarding childbirth. Friggin' sicko man. I seriously think its purely insane, not in a cool way either.
