The shuttle Atlantis is launching today at 2:28pm and everything looks good for launch. I’m watching at Night Sky Observer because Nasa TV is blocked.

The shuttle launches tonight. Of course I’m going to be watching.

I’m busy watching the count down to kepler tonight. Let’s all hope it goes well because kepler looks like it’s going to do some really cool stuff.

Update: Less than an hour to go now. Everything looks good. I always like listening to the chatter going on. If you can’t figure out where to go to see this stuff go here. That’s the link for NASA tv. Cool stuff.

Update: Everything is still go for launch. There’s about 12 mins to go now.

Update: four mintues now. It’s mostly automatic from this point.

Update: Launch went good so far. It’s not quite over yet. Not until the spacecraft is working and in place. But so far so good.
