Yeah, SpaceVidCast is getting hammered so hard. I've just gone to NASA TV instead as an alternate source.

I thought - oh, the launch! Flicked on NASA and the clock was down to 6 seconds - Woops! Too late. Hope it looked fantastic to all of you who were on time!

[jjjnettie (Jeanette)]

Screen shot.

[Trixie (Carey)]

Wow that was fantastic! I cant believe none of the tv channels showed it... how pathetic!

My boys loved it. They are running around the house with their space shuttle models right now!

[erick (Eric)]

Great to hear, Carey! Keep encouraging them and we'll have more Aussies in space!

Not happy
Wake up and go straight to lap top to watch live feed, hubby says no need it's on today show, so watch today show as they check on its progress, they say half an hour to go, so while waiting, I log on here, and I get confused why everyone has seen it and the today show still hasn't shown it, and then I realise its the blinking day light savings . So I just watched it an hour later at 9am .
