Okay, so the STS-125 launch happened to be during the period I have art, my art teacher happens to be really nice, and I happened to have much of my work done, so I was able to go to the computer lab to watch it.

Now, our computer teacher used to be the head of Stage Crew, so she likes me a lot, and once I got the live feed on SpaceVidcast up, she actually put it on the SmartBoard and turned the sound up, so everybody in the class could hear it.

Now, SpaceVidcast has a chat-box under the video stream, so I typed "I'm watching with all my friends in computer class!"

Most of the other people typed back something like "Hi, Kai's computer class!", but one person typed "Now all you school kids watching, remember when you grow up to vote all the politicians who don't support this out of office." (Remember, this was flashing onto the screen the whole class was watching.

So yes- you know you are living in a science fictional future when you can be digitally embarrassed in front of all your friends by somebody you don't even know.
