Here we are with another Shuttle launch. Only another 1000 days to go. We're going to miss that.
HD television is available @nasa new web site but not for live videos unfortunately. May be one day on the net.
On top of Colombus delivery, when Atlantis will leave the ISS, we'll have the 3rd version (out of 4 scheduled) of the 16's ISS expedition crew as follow :
Witson - Malenchenko - Anderson
Witson - Malenchenko - Tani
Witson - Malenchenko - Eyharts
Witson - Malenchenko - Reisman
It's nice that (the) Atlantis will deliver Colombus (remind me of something)

Not a bad view out of the window, eh..?

I know both ISS and Shuttle have their critics, but come on, you've got to think "Beautiful..." when you see an image like that. smile.gif
