Here’s the video we shot with a little Flip camera:

As best I can tell, we were about 6.5 miles south of the launch pad. (See the other videos on the site for the footage that other people shot on the beach). That would fit with the ~30 seconds it took for the sound of the launch to reach us…a sound that was incredible!

Here’s the official NASA video of the launch. Really cool:

Space.com had a neat article about the payload as well. Enjoy!

Did you see this news story? An error in programming gave hospital patients overdoses of radiation for 18 months before it was detected. If you read the story, it boils down to the fact that the guy in charge messed with settings he shouldn’t have been allowed to even see. So, maybe we don’t blame the programmers…

I’d like to see more specifically what happens when you open the door at the end…

As if the CatWash 9000 weren’t good enough, now there’s a new place you can make sure your friendly feline is getting enough Vitamin D. Yes, your very own Cat Tanning Bed!

One more, thanks to Digg…a protester against the Chinese hosting the Olympics who evidently isn’t very familiar with history…

In case you are wondering, the question isn’t "would we" but instead, "did we." The answer is "yes."

Kitten Cannon High Score

Today was a wonderful day. I went to a park for about 3 hours and did homework and enjoyed absolutely wonderful nature. Unfortunately, nature enjoyed me more, as I now have some remarkably placed sunburns… Nature would get the last laugh…

Roby Road campaign starts Saturday. Phase 1: Door knocking. Phase 1b: Hot dog and marshmallow fun time!
