no need to check the web - stay here - we were talking about the cancellation yesterday as soon as it happened!!

Never mind, see anything else whilst you were waiting??

I'm assuming that we wont get to see it now from the UK?

Yep, I got to see the ISS for the third night in a row I tried tracking it with the 80 mm ED on with the fastest slewing speed - not a chance of getting it in the finder scope or EP at that speed!

I know, I've tried that - not a hope!

If you haven't seen it - watch the ascent highlights of STS133 - complete with "stirring music"

Some very interesting viewpoints in these short clips.
