Matt, go to

www.nasa.gov

Select NASA TV on the left hand side. A video will appear in the middle.

Now down the right hand side will be extra options, shuttle launch, plus lots of other videos. Should be there.

They will have live TV during the docking, module fitting etc. Theres a Shuttle Schedule listed on the left of the page.

Its smaller and a few seconds behined our links above, but its directly from NASA so you won't ever loose the feed.

My boss has banned me from looking at it at work. homo

This is true.

Well it was just on all day, i wasn't "watching" it all day....

His excusse was "well other people arn't allowed and we can't show we have more access blah blah blah"

Pishflaps, perks of working in IT on a dedicated BB line out the building. Doesn't effect network, its just his ethics are different to mine.

I got moaned at for playing music through headphones last month??? WTF is that about.....

Think its being looked into as wel!!! Last time they ignored debris...... Well look what happened on re-entry.
That streaming link that someone posted had a press conference after the launch and they discussed it at length. They said that most of it didn't worry them but some had come off and struck the heat coating which would probably need a repair because it is required on re-entry.

I though they had fixed that probelm?
The fleet was grounded for some time while they re coated the tanks to stop it from happening didnt they?

They have procedures in place to deal with it now.

Hope Hammer managed to go see it.

Seen it from the air, the pilot told us to look out the left hand side when it took off

Went down to the Space Center the next day and Buzz Aldrin was there along with tons of media and stuff like that, brilliant place. Got to ask a retired NASA engineer a few questions as well and seen the front porch for the space station being built which will be going up with Endeavour's final journey.

I'd love to go back to Florida just to go back to Kennedy, I was 5 or 6 when I last went so didn't appreciate it half as much as I would now - got to watch the discovery launch from the beach though Still remember it, and then going back to the hotel to watch a few hours of documentaries about the space shuttle
