There's a cool space launch (Jules Verne) in about 25 minutes if you have NASA TV |
|
or check the site. This isn't a NASA venture, its the European Space Agency's project but NASA is providing television for them http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/atv_extraordinaire.html

I love a good nighttime launch.
I guess over there it's about 5am.

8. Hi. The ATV has been ejected from the Ariane's upper-stage, |
|
so the launch is declared successful. The ATV is now starting to deploy its systems. I was watching this at the ESA's site: http://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/ATV/SEM35OK26DF_0.html:hi:
