I watched it too!
We rarely see the launches live here in Oz, but this time they broadcast the whole thing on TV. Yay!

Finally!
I've been in mission status for over a month now. We've been thru half a dozen critical power checkouts for half a dozen launch windows. I'm tired and the mission has only begun... Schedule (all times central time) EVA 1 - Thursday 0830-2000 EVA 2 - Saturday 0930-1900 EVA 3 - Monday 0830-1800 Undock - 3/25 0500-1000 These are actually critical time windows. The EVA's aren't as long as the total critical phase. Tom |

Question for you, Tom-
At some point during the night between 2:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Eastern, I couldn't sleep and I got up and turned the TV on to NASA channel. They were talking about the shuttle and showed a pic of it in space, taken inside the cargo bay, and the doors were open by that point. I saw something small above what would be the right cargo bay door (it was left looking at it from the camera view) It slowly spun and drifted out of sight behind the orbiter. What was it??? I didn't see another shot of that so I couldn't look at it closer. Did someone leave a screwdriver loose in the shuttle bay or what??
