Ahhh, cc. Let's hope he decides to go for it, watching a balloon climb is akin to watching the grass grow.

ABC has a live feed up on satellite uplink. Been watching it over cable since there are no commercal breaks. On one of their other feeds, they have the Endeavor shuttle being moved down a street in CA towards its new permanent home.
