I knew this was going to happen... the lift off will take place the only day I can not leave the school earlier
I also hope they can delay it one more day...

After reading this Shuttle delayed by electrical problem I was reminded of a Dr Who episode where Tom Baker thumps the monitor to bring it back to life and complains of 20th century technology which is what the shuttles are.

In the real world we don't have to arbitrarily change the clocks twice a year... we think the Sun does a good enough job as it is, thanks.

[M54 (Molly)]

Oh, thank heavens I haven't missed it.
Thanks folks, for reminding me, I haven't checked in for a while.

[Liz]

Geeze, I gotta go to work, and have to check back as to when it is ... maybe 22 hrs away, yeah, I like that!!!

[hotspur (Chris)]

OH,BLOPER'S - I have missed it!


Is there a repeat channel or something?

Yes,Troy-that's a good idea,the only small problem-these clouds!

I hope it clears,Not sure if there is going to be a pass over S.E QLD.

I would like to get a wide-view photo of it passing through night sky

with the new 10-22 mm wide view lens.

Cheers Chris
