I stayed up until they delayed the launch for like 2 1/2 hours. Up until that time I fought falling asleep. Then when they called a hold I said “ENOUGH”! and went to bed.

Not only did I miss the launch, but now I see that the space walks are going to take place in the wee hours as well. What the hell? I really lookedforward to seeing the launch live as well as the spacewalks! Is there some specific reason they’re doing all this while the U.S. is in bed?

I’m certainly old enough, but I don’t recall ever watching this series. Highly rated by IMDB though.

Saw this on my morning walk. Forgot it was happening.
