Being selfish of course I hope it's delayed 3 weeks when we're over there. If it goes on time enjoy it if you're there as it's a spectacular sight and noise, we saw one go up a few years ago, and there aren't too many shuttle missions left till the remaining craft are retired.

3 more to go after the April 5th launch. Nearly 29 years after it's first orbital flight, there is nothing on the horizon to replace it.

A bit like Concorde, the Shuttle was so far ahead when launched but was never really built upon. It was almost as if US politicians decided that Space had become dull.

Always truly AMAZING! oo) One of the male anchors on Fox didn't know what FPS stood for and had to ask his colleagues, doh! ?|
