Anyone else watching NASA TV?

Good luck STS-117

Lift off should be 0:38 this morning and I'm in work early tomorrow morning :tired Will still be staying awake tonight though.

 

I always love the liftoffs. Strange that they should take off at night, I guess they revised their safety protocol.

Oopsie, that's 7:38 EDT. Enjoy.

 

The last lift off was at night, plenty of floodlights though. I think if I was there, I would prefer watching a night launch, for the TV, daylight is best.

Sorry , should have mentioned it was middle of the night our time! I was going to get all settled for 11:38 when I remembered we're now on BST (Summer Time), not GMT. I'm glad we don't normally have to worry about time zones too much!

 

here is a video of the launch if anyone desires to see it

Nice video, thanks, Blades. Good luck and God speed to the crew of Space Shuttle Atlantis. Hope the work on the I.S.S. goes smoothly.
