Lightning strikes warning from Zeus, Muse Urania seen weeping.
Gods demand sacrifice, Jim Lovell must cast Boy Scout Silver Buffalo
award into sea while there is still time. ;-)

Just to further complicate matters, SpaceX is planning to
launch within minutes of the Shuttle's launch.

Fortunantly, this is on the other side of the planet, but frantic
space cadets trying to follow both events could bring down the
Internet...

Do _not_ bring the wooden horse that is the Shuttle into the city that
is the ISS, I'm warning you.
(Meanwhile, back in the cargo bay, the Al-Qaeda agents readied
themselves) :-)

Well, good luck... I'd have slaughtered a chicken first and had a look
at its innards just to be on the safe side, but that's just me.
If the heart had a lightning bolt shaped marking on it, then either the
operation is going to be a big success or Lord Valdemort had taken on
yet another cunning disguise, and you thwarted his plans.
If it helps, when quizzed on whether you would survive the operation,
The Talking Magic 8 Ball replied: "It is so."
When asked if the Shuttle would be lost during tonight's launch it
replied: "My answer is probably not."...but when asked if the Shuttle
would be lost sometime during this entire mission its reply was: "It is
definitely possible."
I still think that it would be best if Lovell were to cast the Silver
Buffalo into the sea, or at least keep it in a aquarium till the
mission is completed.
The real eye-opener though was its reply regarding the SpaceX launch;
when asked: "Will today's SpaceX launch succeed?", it replied: "You must
be joking."
I don't think even casting Elon Musk into the sea is going to help in
that case. ;-)

Okay, _Voldemort_.
I don't want to get jumped by a bunch of Harry Potter fans.
Boy, but that guy is hard to keep dead. :-)

To a polar orbit yes?

but frantic space cadets trying to follow both events could bring

Speaking of which, are SpaceX webcasting this one?
