Space Shuttle launch

If you want to watch it and you can't get near a telly:

Take off due 1838 GMT, last I heard.

Ta muchly Banana, the last I heard was that it had been delayed/cancelled
for today so I would have missed it if you hadn't said.

Sky News and BBC News 24 both showed it live with full commentary. :)

Rabbit...

I watched it on the pooter, just as I've watched it before on TV but nothing
can match standing on the beach watching it in RL. I didn't think I would be
impressed ( I'd seen it before on telly) but it's definitely a whole
different world do be standing there and not only see but feel it.

Wrinklie One =?iso-8859-1?Q?=A9?=...

T -51 and counting.... but what are these holds 10 mins and 45 mins???

The guy with the tube has a good job

BoyPete...

Don't understand that at all. Sounds decidedly dodgy. They have a launch
sequence, so why hold if nowt is wrong?
Just heard they have a chance to hold again at T - 31secs, to let sommat
(liquid oxygen? ) cool down..........erm........??

~~Linda~~...

Nah... someone decided at the last minute they needed the loo, there's
always one!! ;-)

Wrinklie One =?iso-8859-1?Q?=A9?=...

They are apparently inbuilt holds but why they cn't be included in the
count down eludes me...

Ali...

Becase they are of indeterminate duration?

Wrinklie One =?iso-8859-1?Q?=A9?=...

Not on this occasion, they were exactly what they said, therefore both
of them could have been included. Then if anything had occurred a hold
could have been introduced as required. T -10 should mean what it says
on the tin ;-)

But Boy did I enjoy that..

BoyPete...

Amazing speed it reaches. Glad it all went well :)
