I did. I watch them all as a matter of course (usually caps off the intarweb after the event but sometimes live on TV).

I didn't watch it, I'm not really into all of this type of stuff...

I missed it too, but you can watch a video of it using Windows Media Player. http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/avdb/news_web/video/9...01d2fe_16x9_bb.asx

I watched it.. I love those flames and toxic (*cough* *cough*) clouds.. The disconnecting or whatever it's called of those fueltubes seemed a bit soon, but hey what do I know with my 3 rockets and own space station [/sarcasm].. I guess they knew what they were doing :dodgy:

I missed it:(  But it is cool since I live by Houston, sometimes you can see the shuttles fly over my house on their way up or back.  It is so awesome, it looks like a jet with a giant tale of fire.  Me and my friends would always sit on my bench outside and wait for it:P


RE: Discovery Launch by nightcrawler50 on 07-27-2005 at 02:53 AM

RE: Discovery Launch by J.J on 07-27-2005 at 06:38 AM

They caught two debris falling off the shuttle :shocked:  1 piece is a tile and the second unidentified... The crew has already been informed regaring this and they are to conduct a verification with robotic arm of the suttle..If there is a damage, they have to stay in ISS until a rescue mission :p
