I just came on here about to post the link! I was a little saddend as I thought they had lifted off already. This could be my second live launch


Excited.

Did you catch BBC|Four last night?

[Vultch]

Great stuff...superb footage especially after the solid rocket boosters ejected and she rolled over, as well as main tank separation

[Apache]

Yep. Set up the telly properly and it was fantastic! Really gets up and goes doesn't it? I was listening to them reading off the speed. Quite a rate of acceleration. 4 miles a second and climbing before dumping the big tank!

[dieselboy]

I like the popping sound it makes.

[Vultch]

Track Atlantis now 7.42 km/s thats 3rd gen speed...

here

[Apache]

That's a fantastic site! Should be able to see loads of satellites using that.

[dieselboy]

Will definitely help with the geostationary ones!!

[Apache]

Geostationary will be far too high to see - or did you just mean so you know where to point your dish for german porn?

[dieselboy]

Haha! No I've just no idea of perspective. German porn? Why would I want to watch strange moustachios?

Iraqi porn is work safe.
