For those as geeky as I am, NASA TV is covering the launch

Oh, and on Thursday, ESA's Herschel and Planck telescopes are being launched!

Can usually see it from my office building's parking lot.. Too cloudy today though, and a couple wildfires putting up too much smoke to see it....seems you lot 4k miles away got a better look at it than I did!

Have to say, it's nice that after more than 25 years people still trek outside to watch it go off.

You scare me sometimes.
Are you my father pretending to be a guy in England? Salut, Papa!

(He's a NASA Freak and sends me everything and anything to do with them. I get tons of email links and vids about currant missions, etc.)
