I guess Mars is taking all our time these days.
Did you notice that STS116 is scheduled to be launched tonight ?
It'll be a night launch visible on the East cost.
Can't believe this topic was not yet opened

2am-ish for the UK - I probably won't stay up for it as the weather is looking fairly no-go for launch. Sadly no ISS passes over here in the next few weeks so I wont be able to give my new camera a workout and get the cool picture of both STS and ISS flying overheard smile.gif
