Now that's a cool link! Is it tonight at 0056 or is tomorrow night (Weds morning) at that time? I can never work out bloody time zones.

EDIT: It's tonight, I just saw the countdown clock.

Oh I knew it was live but looking at the schedule I wasn't sure if they just had a live feed 24/7 in the build up.

Just finished watching aeroplane!, now watching and listening live at the moment as Feustel and Fincke are floating around outside the space station on their 3rd EVA.

I was just quietly freaking out about going from a 1980 movie to actual 1970's rocket science - and HOLY SH*T I'M WATCHING LIVE AS ASTRONAUTS DO A SPACEWALK !!! - when this came through in the middle of their chatter ...

"Thanks for the clearance Clarence"

(ps yes I know that's not what the movie is called but the swear filter on the board won't let me write the word airp1ane)

Space Shuttle Documentary (Narrated by William Shatner)
This feature-length documentary looks at the history of the most complex machine ever built. For 30 years, NASA's space shuttle carried humans to and from space, launched amazing observatories, and eventually constructed the next stop on the road to space exploration.
