In theory, at least.

The Shuttle is set to launch at 10.30am local time today,
3.39pm for those of us in the UK. If you're in the UK and
have access to Sky News Active (press the red button), you
can see a live feed to NASA TV showing all the pre-flight
stuff. Right now they're strapping astronauts into the tiny
flight deck.

It's pretty exciting to think that there are a group of
people out there beyond our atmosphere hurtling through the
void with nothing between them and space but a thin bit of
fibreglass (or whatever shuttles are made from).

my favoriet part was when the main fuel tank seperated in
space, and you could see the shuttle for a second. it was
rad.

what was your fave?

The same as you. Also the bit where the Japanese guy held up
his 'Get out of quarantine free' card before boarding.
