I know there are some of you good Cycle Chat peeps that like a good old rocket launch.

Also in the feed. If you click on HD ISS View. It's a stunning web cam of the view of Earth from the ISS.

I've just started watching it. The video and audio is a bit patchy, though. I think I'll return in about 35 minutes for the main event.

Perfect this side up Vic. You always seem to have trouble down there with it.

I don't think it's my internet connection, but perhaps the approx. 300ms lag between here and the USA is enough to make it less reliable?

I love the 21st century sometimes. Decades ago, we couldn't have all watched "NASA TV" to see a space shuttle launch, from completely different parts of the world. Amazing, is it not?
