2. On TV -- MSNBC, CNN and NASA TV, C-Span2
C-Span seems to be simulcasting from NASA TV (although a short delay), CNN, MSNBC have commentary. :cry:

I just watched this with my daughter; I was a little older than her now when I watched the first one go up. I loved space and was so interested in the new and exciting things that NASA was doing. So sad that it's gone.

10. Each time I have seen a shuttle launch, I tear up.
Even when I was a kid, I had wanted to see humans reach the moon, and hoped I would see that day. When it finally happened, I was ecstatic.
