Speaking of wimps, smokers, and killing them all...  Get to nasa tv now to watch the shuttle launch.  Launch is scheduled to occur around 10:15 eastern time... 15ish min from now.

yaaaaay they didn't blow up.  I wish they'd show the vid from the external tank as it re-enters...  That would probably be neat.

Hehe the commander made a funnay on live tv!  They lost comm for a minute due to something called "spreading", and the pilot's last name is Ferguson...  So when they came back up on comm, the commander said they were "ready to continue after spreading... Fergie... is ready to proceed"

Spreading Fergie...  LOL!  Good to see some spirit up there even under the public eye :)

Glad to see that it finally got up....even NASA employees call the Atlantis "The Penguin" because it's Black and White and never flies.
