They still televise that kinda thing, right?

 

[tdtnvols2004]

Yea, probably on all the news channels. I know FOX news coverage starts at 7.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

I'm going to watch.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

I love watching them. I think they are neat.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

Well, Fox is talking about Hilton, but CNN has it going. Saying that the weather may not cooperate.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

or you can watch here, if interested.

NASA TV

 

[TennesseeFan07]

What do you know, Hilton comes before everything else.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

Well, listening to NASA, it seems that they are sending this sucker up.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

T-minus 9 minutes and counting...

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Just minutes away

 

[TennesseeFan07]

They're closing and locking their visors.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

Here we go, hope all goes well.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

And lift off of space shuttle Atlantis.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Boom, and away it goes!

 

[tidwell]

8000 mph. That's insane.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

whats a roll over?

 

[tdtnvols2004]

It just turns, just like a barrel roll for a plane.

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Oh, I didn't have a clue what it meant, this is my first time ever watching something like this and its pretty cool.

 

[tdtnvols2004]

Yea, It's Amazing to watch. Someday, I will go down and watch one.

 

[XtennesseeX]

I just watched it from my backyard.

Its the fifth one I have seen.

I like the night launches better.

 

[tdtnvols2004]
