    Shuttle Launch

    For those that care:

    Shuttle Discovery launches at 2:50pm Mountain time! A little over 30 minutes away.

    Oh so they filter the Denver internet now, eh? That's probably partially my fault. They didn't like that I was capable of doing my job and beyond, and still had time to do shit on the internet.

    There was some technical group monitoring weather or something that had a failed computer, and it was a requirement for launch. But they made it.

    nasatv and google's chrome browser is no go. Had to switch over to alternate mode of web delivery. IE and WMP works.

    clean launch...

    thanks for the link.
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Was able to watch the launch here even with the 'Net nannies! One of the rare times that I'm grateful to work with a bunch of wannabe (and some not-so-wannabe) rocket scientists.

    Incredible. And I'm a girl so I can say it was also a bit emotional.

    They block streaming media here, and it wouldn't play on my Droid.
