Space Shuttle

my colleague and i have been watching live NASA tv video of the space shuttle since yesterday and if they land tonight will miss the landing. they tried to land 3 times yesterday but was aborted. today they're into their final try for the day.

we don't watch it all the time just let it stream in the background as we do our work. it's quite interesting, as you can hear conversations between mission control and space shuttle and from time to time commentary from NASA guys. for visuals you have the position of the shuttle and the orbit path it's taking, mission control and visual of earth from space shuttle.

it's both exciting and scary.
exciting as we can get stuff direct for the source, and tune in to only what interest us - with commercials!

scary coz everything is now happening 'real time' and if one does not have the tools, they'll fall much more behind than ever.

wonder how long it'll be before blogs will be streaming live what the blogger is doing.
