Space is cool

EDIT: You can continue the geek experience by tracking the shuttle through Google Earth. It makes for remarkable viewing (if you like maps and other cool things). Download the Google Earth plug-in here.

I think it will be an eternal regret of mine that I shall never watch a shuttle lift off in person. But luckily, thanks to the Internet, I can watch it live while I'm at work (weather depending)...
