Yeah agree I was just kidding with you. I won’t be satisfied until the retraction of the gantry arm is moving away from the EXT.

Those astronauts look way too comfortable. It makes them look like the camera is actually horizontal, and that the technician is levitating.

Yeah and the smile on there faces is stretching across the cabin. They sure know where there going today, hehehehe.

It’s dark here now in England and its daytime or afternoon in Florida, wow that’s wild.

It’s overcast cloud outside so there is know why I can possibly see the ISS and space shuttle passing overhead tonight.

Cameras are all over that bird, I think the viewer at home gets one of the best viewing seats in the house. Still I bet a few at the Cape have there laptops and Wi-Fi connection so they can get the best of both worlds.

I wonder if they’ll be a rearward view of the shuttle on ascent, you know looking downwards beside the SRB. I saw a neat view on launch on Youtube with the SRB returning back home, wow imaging setting on one of those, you know like that guy in Doctor Strange Love.
