about 40 minutes we are locked into t-minus 9 minutes.
But barring any mechanical things we are a go.

Yep, turned on the local news now. I'll walk outside and watch it with my son. We are close enough to watch and hear it. It is an awesome sight!
 
The only thing better is a night launch. It looks like daytime when that thing goes up!
 
I would love to be able to watch that in person, quite luck you are.

Anyone know of a live webcast or anything that I might be able to watch it on?
 
Thanks, but I cant seem to get it to work. ah!

edit:

nm, got it! woohoo. :)
 
You can even "feel" it on a calm day! I have seen almost every launch since 1995. About 3 minutes to go!
 
Less than 2 minutes now, this is pretty exciting. haha. Hopefully we wont see any fireworks.... :-\
 
So how far away from the launch point can you actually see the shuttle and the boosters while in flight?
 
I am about 55 miles away and see it perfectly. That's 88 Km for you ferinners!
 
Its a bird, its a plane, its.... DISCOVERY :D

Nice seeing her up there.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
