Anyone else glued to the TV, anxiously awaiting the shuttle launch? Having attended a launch as part of the press a few years ago, I literally get choked up just watching the coverage. I can guarantee I'll have goose bumps if/when it gets off the ground :)

I have two computers at my desk at work... One of them is watching Nasa TV right now. I have my headphones on so that I can keep up with what is happening while trying to get some work done at the same time.
Just about 15 minutes left.... :-) |

I'm watching live, too...here at work...
It's kind of a crappy connection that keeps rebuffering. I'll have to check out the NASA TV one.
I also get goosebumps...I would love to cover a launch one day, it's one of my 'career goals'. |

I get a streaming error. Must be the network blocking it or something.

I used to get all excited about space travel and being in orbit, now I find the whole idea almost pointless...
Anywho, I definatly like watching shuttle's launch, I wish I could see it from my roof Cindi! :-O |

What incredible coverage of the launch. The footage of the fuel tank separation was awesome! Kudos and congratulations to the shuttle crew and to NASA on a perfet launch.

Well, if it's worth anything, I have lost 25 pounds over the last year and a half... :) |
