Watch it on nasa TV:

Fingers crossed, this one has been delayed many times for various reasons. It's tkaing stuff up to the space station for more building work.

Launch is at 4:15pm UK time. So, slightly more than an hour away.

yeah I forgot about the built in hold at 9mins, which lasts 40-odd mins long. Thanks.

a succes woo!

Oh, has this already happened?

Yup...You can catch the replays though, if your quick.

Bah I missed it =(

when the shuttle separated from the main tank it was very graceful and cool.

Too bad it missed Star Trek's 40th anniversary yesterday (which would have been a nice touch), but at least it's finally up there! :)

been there done that got the kids to prove it ;-)
