"Operation time out when attempting go contact nasa.gov".

I think we broke it.

So much for the lack of public support for the space program.

One of these days I need to get down there and watch a major launch even if it isn't the shuttle.

This got to be routine for many years. The drama and reality is back.

Godspeed Discovery!

Been here all of my life and I still get a rush watching launches. Heck, I even get up in the middle of the night for night launches. I think we have the weather beat finally!

Yep. If he'd have pulled his "D-ring" and ejected, it would have been weeks before they could've tried again.

The launch window closure time has been adjusted slightly to 2:41:36 p.m. EDT. That is the last second Discovery can lift off today or else wait till tomorrow.

I'm using VLC to stream and perform screen shots. Works great.

They may go into a hold at T-31 seconds to let some oxygen lines (I think) cool down a bit...
