Astronaut's leave for the pad in <5mins...

[Woodzie]

Ok the launch is at 23.38.........thanks beeb

[Apache]

Thought it was 24:38 cos of BST?

Funny though, if it was 23:38, the astronauts check in time for their flight is less than a transatlantic flight check in!

[Woodzie]

they are strapping the crew in now.. this is better than anything on real telly tonight...

[Apache]

Absolutely! This is REAL people putting their balls on the line!

Kinda like watching Bog Brother innit.

Might get better when they light the blue touch paper.

[Apache]

Jeeez Lyall!

It's NOTHING like watching big brother!

though I kinds know what you mean about the perceived lack of activity. However, at KSC that lack of perceived activity hides a melee of activity underneath...

I'm sure with Big Brother though, what you see is pretty much the way it is. A house full of vacant, vacuous ar$eholes.
