That was a great shot from the ET after MECO when they did the separation.  Too bad they aren't holding onto the tank and bringing it to the ISS, a lot of potentially usable space inside, and it could be taken there well within the limitations of the OMS fuel supply.

Ah sigh...

CNN had it live for a while. She got off in good shape it appears. I definately understand the tank cam on the bird. It gives a great angle to spot booster burnthroughs and anything falling off of the tank onto the shuttle.

Godspeed to the shuttle and her crew.

T+plus 3 minutes. Discovery's main engines continue to fire, guzzling a half-ton of propellant per second.  :eek:

It is pitch black in orbit.  You are likely to be eaten by a space grue.

Drudge report story about "large debris" falling off during launch...

It makes me angry...  maybe I shouldn't, but they have had a long time to work on this thing.  There was stuff falling off of it while is was sitting still a week ago.

The only thing I saw fall off were boosters?

Insulation has suffered again... hope the shuttle gets back in one piece.

The one piece I saw ddin't hit the shuttle itself.  News is saying nasa techs have hours of footage to look over and the shuttle will be inspected at the ISS.

IT'D BE AWSOME IF A SHUTTLE LANDED HERE BEFORE I LEAVE NEXT SRPING

Too bad it costs NASA about a million extra bucks to fly it home.
