yeaah.. the weather has been pretty bad over here. apparently tomoorrow (today for me now) is the best opportunity for launch. the launch at 3:49ppm here so will be 5:49 am over in AEST.

i am so excited! so the lack of sleep i have had in the past week will be well worth it!

The ksc area that we are at has a big screen and general seating area setup. I was at darling harbour for the sydney olympics opening, and im wondering how much the atomsphere will be the same as the opening olympic games at Sydney!

btw i am so glad i was not a Gemni astronaunt. went into a replica of their craft, i am just under 6 foot tall, and was probably 3 inchess too tall to fit. so i could just imagine how squished the astronaunts where!

wish i could beam back live pictures, but security is so tight over here. I cant even take in a back pack. so all camera gear is going into video camera bag.

hopefully its a great launch and god speed to the astronaunts.
