Hey all,
Usually when I talk to people about watching Space Shuttle launches live it ends up in a frown on my side when they tell me that they are hoping for it to go wrong. I myself am a reasonably big space-nut, and so I follow most Shuttle-launches live if I can (at the craziest times, with all the previewing included )
Either way, Space Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to launch in roughly 1h20m, and can be viewed life by opening http://playlist.yahoo.com/make ... 369080&segment=149773 in a media player ("Open URL in Windows Media Player), or going to http://www.nasa.gov and clicking the "NASA TV" link.
I don't know if anyone is interested, but I'm just giving a heads up for those who want to see the launch live, or are interested to see what goes into launching that 'ancient' piece of kit into orbit (up until the launch you will only see still 'images' of the shuttle, and hear various operators run checks on the Shuttle's systems)
I hope some will enjoy! :>
