Back In Orbit (for now)

As NASA's foam problems continue (meaning that future shuttle launches are scratched after Discovery gets back), you may want to check out video of Tuesday's shuttle launch courtesey of AOL (click on the "watch the launch" tab) because it took 2.5 years to get a shuttle back into space after the Columbia disaster and who knows how long we'll have to wait again. First Live 8, now the shuttle launch; they really are on a roll over at Columbus Circle. I hope this trend continues as AOL transforms itself into more of a media delivery company. The cool part is that you can choose from multiple camera angles: I'm a fan of the launch pad and beach tracker ones myself.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to view the AOL video-probably a browser issue if I know anything about AOL. I did watch the launch live over the Net the other day. Pretty damned amazing. I just love space-related stuff.

Phyll, there is an issue watching the video using a Mozilla based browser. I tried to watch the video in FireFox and it would not work. I then tried IE and it worked fine. I am so waiting for the day when EVERYTHING that works in IE works in FireFox...
