Shuttle Launch live coverage on the net

For any fellow Space-Geeks out there, go to http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html?skipIntro=1
and watch in REALPLAYER live coverage of NASA coverage of the launch.  There is even radio chatter!

I'm such a nerd.

I'm watching it right now - best of luck to those Astronauts. T minus, 57 minutes!

Truant, they'll say, TRUANT!!!

Hopefully, nothing goes wrong pre-launch and will go smoothly.

My daughter just asked me:
"Is that a real, live rocket they are about to launch?  It's somewhere, right now, and we're watching it?"
"yep!"
"Cool!"

I have created another geek!

(where is the "Milhouse" avatar when I need it????)

The ground crew has been calling this shuttle The Penguin. Why you might ask ? Because its black and white and doesnt fly. ;D

Garvin, you're on a roll.  ;D

Is it me or is a NASA second significantly longer than a regular second?

LOL- My daughter just asked me what they do if they have to go to the bathroom.

Excellent launch. Too bad it wasn't a real-time feed though.

I watched her take off on CNN 35 seconds before it aired on the site.

 

[patrick666]

Yep - good, safe launch and without a hitch.

Quite amazing to watch, actually.

Well a Canadian is now in orbit.

Well a Canadian is now in orbit. 

He certainly is!! CNN aired an interesting profile on him earlier this morning. Whooo..he seems really really smart.
