Today's launch happened to take place on my birthday, so I am telling folks that NASA lit really big candles for me. Just passed 15 minutes from launch, and everything is still good. I'm happy. |

The Media Player feed is about 30s behind the Quicktime feed for me, but the QT feed only had a little bit of audio -- very clear converstation between a couple of launch team members during the T-9 hold, and silence during the launch -- very eerie. Whose tie got clipped? /dps |

The NASA "deep voice" was calling distances which matched but calling mphs somewhat faster (in the km/hr range). I hope someone else saw this. Rob |

Hmm, more like the worker bees getting a chance to haze the Big Boss. But I'll confess I'm not familiar with the origins of this tradition; it's a KSC-specific thing. |
