Shup Hawk!! I was hoping no one would remember. I should have known that you would blow the whistle on me. :rant-rave:

Well, it was scrubbed so I have one more day to make the pie...

Does anyone have the URL of a website that has the countdown clock? The one I use must have gotten rid of the clock because I cannot find it anywhere.

Try this link at NASA:

The decision moved Discovery's liftoff to Friday at 11:59 p.m. EDT to begin the STS-128 mission to the International Space Station.
Link has Shuttle clock on the right side of page. :beer3:

OMG, what a sight. It was wonderful... Saw it from my back yard. I'm sure Eddie or F16 will post some pictures, perfect night to see the whole launch. I watched it from my back yard. It was fantastic!!!!!

I was at Truman with my fork. :shrug: :jester:

KathieI 08-28-2009 11:26 PM

LOL, did you want me to come there in my jammies to feed you some apple pie???? I told you I'll bake one for your birthday.....

F16 1UB 08-28-2009 11:31 PM

Not Me
 
I was at Havana Golf Course with bunches of others. No camera. Launch coverage on NASA Station better than I could provide. Just awesome. Strange though, I didn't hear anyone ask where it was going. Inside joke. :evil6:

KathieI 08-28-2009 11:33 PM

That's cause Nonie wasn't there...... we all know it was going to
WALMART!!!!

Was that the most awesomest (is that a word?) thing you've ever seen? I could see it from our backyard too.

So cool
