That was so cool. I watched a bit of NASA TV until the TV stations started showing stuff. Then I was channel hopping between 7 and 9 to get the best stuff. A few minutes before launch 7 had some cool live footage while 9 was talking. But during ascent, 7 had an ex astronaut talking over the NASA TV man! Big no no so I quickly switched. Stupid NBC.
Since the TV stations returned to crap TV I've had NASA TV on. Mostly quite boring but there was some good launch footage from various cameras on the launch pad.
It feels silly having such strong feelings while watching it take off. Perhaps it's because I was watching the Columbia reentry on NASA TV when it died.
