Ive got it running in the background - its not somthing id normaly watch as ive seen plenty before, but its interesting to see them getting suited and booted, and strapped in. Will the cam show the lift off from inside the orbiter? Or just outside?

Cant see 'Gunter Vent' anywhere at the moment

I love all the apollo stuff, found that fascinating, but this just doesnt do it for me in the same way im sad to say...why i dont know...but its interesting nonetheless

It's always interesting. If you like the Apollo, you should watch When We Left Earth coming to Discovery on the 8th of June at 9:00pm EDT I think.

I'm lookin too. Far better coverage than you could ever get from CNN.
I love the internet.

Looks a little breezy, no?

I know. I NEVER watch it on the news. A slight breeze, yes.

This time spent waiting, must be harder on the crew than any other part of the mission! I mean, my heart is pounding out of my chest while I'm waiting for an Ebay auction to end, I can't imagine being strapped inside a missile like that for an hour, then being told you only got nine more minutes. Too much suspense!
