Looking iffy for Thursday in terms of the weather, but Friday's weather looks fine...

Great launch! :up
And a good start to the next season of what I consider the best (and probably the longest running) reality-TV series on TV!

It was a great launch and looks like everything is going very well!

If you have seen one of these, there is very little to see the next time.

Not to sound mean, but that is quite possibly the dumbest thing I've heard all day.

But, to each his own...

Anyway, great launch. Interesting roll maneuver following launch. If anything, it looked really cool.

Looking forward to an action packed successful mission!

Timer set for HDNet...

If you have a Dish HD-DVR, and you click on the "NASA on HDNET" event on Wednesday early morning, you can create DVR Timer for "All Episodes" which will automatically record all launches and landings...

Note that this cannot catch last minute changes - for example, on Wednesday morning, NASA could decide to stay up one more orbit and land 90 minutes later...
