Well since the Space Shuttle is landing at 4:45 am, I figure I start a live thread now (I won't be awake)...

13 mins. away from engine firing, if it's a go.

30 secs. away from answer

Houston: Discovery, Eileen .. working pretty hard .. continues to be a low layer .. few and scattered .. again .. unstable. Our current observed weather is actually GO .. and the forecast .. technically, it's GO; however, can't get comfortable. WAVE OFF for 24 HRS>

Me either. According to the track, they're going over Iran right now. Maybe one of them can drop a penny from there and hit a Mullah.

ROFL!

That means they're not too far from us right now.

We're having the most disgusting sandstorm I've seen in over a year. I wouldn't be able to see the shuttle if it flew 1,000 feet over me. {cough!} {hack!}

Arghh! Ah well, safe is better. Better, as in better buy more Maalox...

Well, this means we're doing this again tomorrow night... good job, guys, and I suppose this means goodnight for now. God bless the crew and all who are helping to bring them home!
