Shuttle
failed eco-sensor;news reports are saying
faulty fuel-tank sensor.I'm assuming they're the same thing.
Inspired by the geek clients that Lisa's company is doing work for, I'm watching NASA TV in anticipation of the launch today at 3:51 PM EDT (it's really been 2-1/2 years?). I remember watching NASA TV early on in Internet streaming days. They broadcast extended camera shots of the rotating Earth from earlier shuttle trips, and I would leave RealPlayer up in a small window alway-on-top as I'd spend late nights at one-company-or-another writing code. It was kindof peaceful and completely silent, and I'd imagine that it was happening real-time. Me looking at my screen looking at the world--like how it feels with Google Earth now.
Their official site for this launch has all the low-down, including a countdown clock so that you can do the 10-9-8-7-6-thing at home!
