Uncertainty about the weather
An hour earlier, I noticed a clear sky (not at all announced for tonight) and prepared recording CNN, BBC World and Euronews (all 3 showed the launch live) and went to the attic to see ISS pass then tried my Canon which I couldn't immobilize so opted for the Sony DSC-V1 movie mode (it did work once with ISS if after zooming I could center the little square on the LCD screen on the object but this time, there were 2 objects and the square never found them)..but at least there's some sound
The Shuttle era will end in 2010 and we're wondering if we could see such a show in the future.
