This is cool...it shows you shots inside and outside of the shuttle, and you can hear the radios.

That's actually a lot cooler than I expected. Apparantley there was supposed to be a launch today but it was cancelled due to weather .

T minus 3 hours till launch.

Or so we hope...

The darn weather has been a bit of a hurdle the last couple of days.

Isn't ironic that NASA uses a GMC Motorhome that hasn't been made in almost 30 years to drive the astronuats to the pad.

If they wanted to they could build their own custom vehicle. So why a 30 year old GMC?

Maybe because it is so cool looking!?

Please dont give em ideas, they make a new motohome that would cost billions if Nasa made it.

T-minus 9 minutes!

I wonder if we'll get to see inside during the launch, although I doubt it. That would be amazing!

I think they have done that before.not sure though.

This is the first time I've "watched" (listen really) to the whole event leading up to the launch.

Very interesting.

We're actually in the scheduled hold leading up to the T-minus 9 minutes restart. It's still about 45 minutes until launch.

May have another hold at t-31 seconds to vent & cool fuel, about a minute then resume the count.

Looks like that IS going to happen.

I really pray for a safe flight, Nasa needs it and so does the space program. We also still need to refurb Hubble and only shuttle can do it.

Flight recorders are running, T-6 minutes

 

[Peace]

From this point the shuttle takes control of the takeoff.

 

[WildCowboy]

Lift off! So far so good!

I don't see any foam from here!

 

[Dont Hurt Me]

Awesome! 14,000 miles an hour I think it needs 18,000 for orbit.

Best views we ever had, got to ride with the tank and watch that shuttle pull up and away! Awesome views.
