Watching it

They seem to say countdown in 1 hour (630ish)...I thought it was 7:38?

Hmm...just watching the pressure checks now

they must have been going on Eastern time when reporting the launch at 7:30

I am on Eastern time

Looks like the overseas landing sites have bad weather, might force a scrub.

Never done this before, it is fun explaining things to my 5 year old son though.

Boy ever since watching the Challenger implode back in 86 while in high school (watching it live in the library)....I still have the pucker factor after the "throttle up" call is made

Why is it I harkon back to my childhood in awe of Space?

This was great to watch and thanks RAIDER.

I was in 8th grade when happened and I'll never forget that day as long as I live.
