Shuttle launch tonight

We were watching it live on the NASA channel - was pretty amazing. Speed and altitude puts our Piper Warrior exploits to shame though!

I did like the shots from a camera on the fuel tank. The separation from the shuttle was impressive.

I wonder how long transmissions from that camera lasted??

D'oh!

At least they've spotted it and can repair it.

She's due to dock with the ISS at about 19:38 GMT.

And today is the day they try to come home. First option for a landing is about 18:50 BST but to get that they have to do the de-orbit burn about an hour earlier. All live on NASA TV right now.

Weather's still lousy but there are five brief windows today, starting around 2pm CDT.

Wonderful TV transmissions in the last few days. Hope you got them in the UK.
