Incredible - I've never watched one in realtime. Fantastic to see the HUD view from the cockpit so many miles above the clouds when they did that final positioning turn!! :)

Was fun to watch.
The spaceflightnow stream kept stalling so I changed to NASA TV, after that all was good.
Thanks for the heads-up Rob.

Wow, uncanny!! Missed this post as got home from a public viewing, settled down to watch the tV, and Stargate Atlantis was on .... AND, ATLANTIS (yes the city is a spaceship) landed on Earth near to the time that Atlantis returned home!!!!
