Space Shuttle Discovery STS-128 Launch

[long_time_DNC]

That's good news!

 

[bebop]

Does it get broadcast in HD on any channel?

 

[dfergie]

HDNet and Fox News show the launch's in HD...

 

[Ilya]

HDNet has "HDNet Fights Presents: M-1 Global Breakthrough" tonight starting at 10pm EDT.
I wonder if they will be willing to interrupt it for the Shuttle Launch coverage?

 

[dfergie]

Doubtful, probably have to set a timer for Faux News...

 

[bebop]

No FoxNews here, any other ideas? I might try viewing it live on the internet from Fox.

Wonder if Nasa shows it live?

 

[dfergie]

It will be on the Nasa channel, just not HD... (except FTA )

 

[dfergie]

It's still a go... NASA - Home

 

[Ilya]

Of course it will be live on NASA TV! In fact, more live than on any other chanel: HDNet is usually several seconds behind. It's just this launch is a night launch and should look absolutely spectacular in HD! It will be unfortunate for many of us if HDNet doesn't show it...

 

[dfergie]

Been watching them for awhile entering the shuttle, strapping in and comm checks...

 

[Ilya]

And they are pretty optimistic about the weather tonight!

CNN-HD sometimes shows the launches, but like most channels, they are usually in automated repeats long before 11:59 pm ET. In fact, so is Fox News, so I would not count on any channel other than NASA.

 

[dfergie]

Closing out the Whiteroom...

 

[long_time_DNC]

I hope the weather cooperates!

 

[Ilya]

So far so good.

 

[Ilya]

It's a Go!

 

[kstuart]

HD-Net still showing the fight, seems unlikely they will interrupt it ( and those who are watching the fight probably could care less about a launch )...

You would think that Comedy Central would show this launch !

 

[bebop]

Popular thread tonight. Methinks it will only be on NASA and not other channels.

Nope- CNN just started airing it.

 

[teachsac]

Fox News is on right now.

S~

 

[kstuart]

HDnet is showing it !
