Reminder: Shuttle Discovery launches at 4:50EST / 1:50PST.

Watching now.  I saw STS 70 launch live, on July 13th, 1995.  I'll never forget it.

This is Discovery's last launch.  Only two more shuttle launches after this.

Currently there is a hold at T minus 5 minutes, a red range condition (computer issue, being worked).

IE9 Told me there was an update this morning, and I downloaded it, it fixed the problems I was having with it.

I was using Firefox, because of the IE9 problems.

I saw STS79 Atlantis go while I was in Florida on holiday, you're right - it's something you won't forget.
