In case ya hadn't noticed there is a Space Shuttle launch tonight at 9:36 EST. A night launch even - this may never happen again. I helped train this crew - so that's kind of a kewl feeling. (btw - Mark Curbeam, who's on this flight, is perhaps the hottest astronaut we have in the corps. But yeah, he's married, so only eye candy. )

Man, NASA TV sure is boring. Whoever thought it was a good idea to let engineers be play-by-play announcers? I just heard the word hypergolic - there's a word you don't hear everyday or reality TV. Okay, I know they're not "real engineers" talking, this our NASA white-washed PAO folks doing their engineer wanna be acts. They really should of turned the whole thing over to Mark Burnett or Discovery TV and then we'd get a nicely packaged, educational, informative and egads, perhaps even inspiring view of the thousands of folks who work their butts off to make this magic happen. Have I whinged enough?

Okay, everyone go watch the launch, keep your bits crossed, and "GO DISCOVERY!"
