Space Station LIVE To Your 'Puter
The MTS-115 Altantis was launched Saturday morning on its MISSION TO THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.
I watched the prelaunch coverage at NASA.gov, live at the NASA TV link. My wife watched the actual launch, while I went to bed since I worked the night before in the ER, or Emergency Room. The wife and I had watched Apollo 13 before I headed off to work, so I was excited again about a shuttle launch. One of the points in the film is that the American public had lost interest in the NASA program, but a nation tuned in to live coverage as Apollo 13 limped back to earth. Check out the NASA site today and watch so that, maybe, you and I together can figure out what in the world, er heavens, they do up there in the space station exactly. Perhaps I'll drop my cousin an email, since he previously worked for a contract agency that wrote the official NASA review for all space station activities, due within hours of landing. That was in Huntsville, Alabama. Now he's in Indiana, and I keep up with him at laughingwolf. He'll know.
