Anybody else watching the live feed on the shuttle launch?

Scroll down, there's a live feed for RealPlayer.

Now taking bets on the probability it'll blow up;

0%-5% = 0
5%-10% = 0
10%-15% = 0
15%-20% = 0
20%-25% = 0
25%-30% = 0
30%-35% = 0
35%-40% = 0
40%-45% = 0
45%-50% = 0
More than 50% = 1

Kidding; if it asplodes, it'll prolly be 'cause of one of those gulls getting sucked into the engine. They usually hit about a dozen on each launch, y'know.

Well, looks like it went off without a hitch. Glad that they survived this one...so far. There's a lot of work ahead. Mainly reentry; if anything shows up in the tile inspection a few hours from now, then they're stuck in space for a while. NASA would be stupid if they tried to bring them home with a busted heat shield.

Okay...it was a live feed, NASA TV Online. It was a heck of a lot better than just watching the recordings on the news later that night.
