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 🙁 .

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.
 
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.
