GazB Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Great live coverage with commentry, i like the full screen site you put up as a link. Well done Gav I've also signed up to the NASA site, i've watched a landing before on link and seen day time take off when on holiday in Florida in 1999. This night time lift off should be good viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted November 15, 2008 Author Share Posted November 15, 2008 seen day time take off when on holiday in Florida in 1999. Lucky bar...... Hoping to head out next year to see a launch. 25 mins to go... but apparently there is a door flapping about... (Someone forgot to secure a door on the tower, hard to believe but that could stop the launch, boy I bet it sucks to be that guy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GazB Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Makes you wounder if anything else has been forgot if somebody forgets to shut a door Hope it's been secured and isn't flapping around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
