For those interested and online, it will take off in about 20 minutes from when I posted this.

I'm at work right now so of course I'll take the time to watch.

Woah, just in time, another sucessful launch, always interesting to watch. Anyone know if this was the launch in which the girl who bought a ticket was on?

I'll look for some footage later. Can't believe I missed this one live though, I was tuning in the last couple days when it was delayed but missed the actualyl launch, sigh...

Discovery's launch last month was really cool because they attached a camera to the solid fuel booster tank and it was cool seeing the tank float away from the shuttle in space.
