Long belated "Hoorah!" :-) For the record :

It launched, it flew successfully & it landed safe again.

I rigged things at work so that no matter how many times NASA delays I get to stay there until it finally launches. I WILL be there.

Anyone know the best place to watch? I'm thinking Titusville, but not sure where in Titusville is the best place. Of course if anyone has VIP passes for a family of 4 for the space center I wouldn't say no. JT jt(at)Nightgig[dot]com if you have any info for me.

Yup, the shuttle being used for its intended purpose. BA says: “…to go to — where else? — the space station.”

I think I'll be coming in on Saturday to watch- and maybe even get a little work done. BTW there's also a bill in to extend the shuttle flights and shorten "the gap" between shuttle and Ares I (if ares is the next thing, since there's also hearings coming up to decide that). There's a storm a' brewin. sili: I'm also on dev art, as drspiv. I don't update often though, but I stick with it to check up on some other friends whose shows I don't get to make it to. I'd be very curious to see the art of other BA readers, who are almost certainly polymaths. dbalsdon: it should be streamed off the nasa homepage too.

I'm just on Livejournal (and Deviantart, but only as a commenter). Say what you will about the Spacestation, but at least there's a chance that'll stay up there now that the ATV appears to work.
