1. I've got a bad feeling.
I hope all goes well, but it seems that this launch has been prepared hastily, as if there's some deadline to get the ship up.

:scared: :(

10. I had a bad feeling
The day they sent up that other space shuttle in sub-freezing weather.

When I got up that morning, turned on the TV, and learned it was 23 degrees in Florida, I figured they'd call it off by the time I got to work. I was apalled when it wasn't. I said they'd have to be nuts to attempt a launch in such cold weather for the first time. Unfortunately, I was right.

:scared:

2. I think BBC will be running it
They had pre-flight video running live as of an hour and a half ago.

There's a link directly from the home page, which is
