We're just about 8 hours from the planned launch of the space shuttle Discovery. If you've got NASA TV, tune in. If not, you can grab a feed over at the NASA Television site.

Posted by: Mike on July 25, 2005 11:50 PMWhat's the difference between what's on CNN and whats on NASA TV? (Just curious.)

Heh, better than Live8 coverage online... 4 different formats! (real video, videow/ captioning, audio, and windows media video). Awesome.
...but I'll be watching it on MSNBC or CNN. I'm on dial-up (and proud of it! Netzero!!)

Posted by: jacob on July 26, 2005 07:54 AMaround here, the nasa tv feed just crashed from 450 kbps to 45 kbps about 10 minutes before launch, and at launch i couldn't connect at all. and the yahoo media-player feed worked only in IE (i'm on suite 1.7.8, winXP).
Posted by: tsahi on July 26, 2005 01:47 PMBig personal thanks for this message; I checked your blog ~30 min before liftoff and called my 86-year-old grandfather to make sure he was watching TV (he had fallen asleep). He got to see it and was in a really good mood for the rest of the day :)
Posted by: Limulus on July 26, 2005 11:41 PMLimuluz, that makes my day! Thanks for letting me know. One of the most powerful reasons for keeping programs like this going is their ability to bring people together and give us hope. I'm so glad that you were able to share this with your grandfather.
