Space Shuttle Atlantis

Surprised this isn't up already. Today was the final launch of Atlantis. We had it up on the big VC screen in our office all afternoon. Was really quite emotional I thought.

Could have done without the patriotic rhetoric though...

Nice, I watched some of it streaming too. The quality was pretty good, I'm pretty sure the last shuttle launch I watched years ago wasnt in HD.

Watched it on BBC News. Really surreal watching the on-board cameras through the ascent. Clouds and falling boosters and bits of metal and suddenly space.

Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

I had tears in my eyes watching it. If I was American I'd have gone to the Kennedy Space Center for sure to see it.
