Tom, you can always add Spaceflight Now – http://www.spaceflightnow.com – to your daily/weekly/whatever reads. It’s been invaluable to me since I discovered it a couple of years back, and it has plenty of other fascinating news that’s not always covered by the BA.

Thanks for the heads up Phil, if I hadn’t checked your site I would have missed it. They nearly managed to sneak this launch under the radar, I didn’t see it announced anywhere else; it’s usually on BBC news etc. a few days in advance.

A comment from Bob Park, the man who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

4. SPACE: WHY FINISH THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION?
With an astronaut love triangle and shuttle problems, it hasn’t been a great year for the ISS, but then, there has never been a great year for the orbiting boondoggle. Atlantis is again set for launch at 7:38 pm ET today. NASA must complete the ISS so it can be dropped into the ocean on schedule in finished form.

Shuttle launches these days seem as rare as hen’s teeth. Makes the Spectacle that much more appreciated. I missed this one though! (Encore NASA, Encore!)

It was definitely spectacular. I had my 5 year old watching until external fuel tank separation… I’m surprised it held his interest that long!
