From now on today I will be watching NASA TV on my computer for the launch of space shuttle Discovery. All systems go in today's countdown so far. |

As for this lift off. This mission, once again seems to be plagued with problems. I won't be happy till it is back on earth having completed its mission. I wouldn't want to be any of those assigned and heading inside that thing for lift off. |

WOW!!! that was so exciting - I watched it in theatre mode and Realplayer didn't let me down this time.Discovery has passed over UK (I didn't see it haha) and is now over the Indian Ocean. First engine firing to partially manoevre into correct orbit successful and docking should be on Thursday 6.18 Central Time. Congratulations to USA. I am now looking forward to watching the space walks. |

If anyone missed the launch they are going to do replays in a few minutes. |

If you want to know where the shuttle is at any time see:

It is only the ISS just now but that is where the shuttle is headed.
Did you know they have a woman driving for the first time? :)

Oh I know Grace. It is just that when I posted the link the shuttle was shown as not yet in space.
