BBC News Channel.

I'm currently recording x3, just to make sure - BBC News, NASA 300kbps and NASA 1200kbps.

They rebranded. God knows why. "The News Channel" is such an unbelivably crap name. :/

Windows media player keeps saying "poor reception". Crap nasa servers.

Fire Wizard · 31 May 2008 at 22:05

Oh my god, that is awesome.

Just imagine spending 6 months in space?

Crap ISP.

I'm sustaining 1900kbps to the NASA/Yahoo servers.

I did power cycle my entire house to make sure I'd get a clean link though after having problems earlier.

The isp is fine, I've been downloading at 4Mb/s earlier today. Nasa's servers aren't exactly known to be stellar though so it's to be expected.

misterPK · 31 May 2008 at 22:08

Thats the first time I've watched a live launch, switched over to sky news just in time. Oh how I'd love to be on there.

PK!

Gaygle · 31 May 2008 at 22:09

10,000mph

AJUK · 31 May 2008 at 22:09

BBC One I mean, with the full build up and commentary; much better than some tart auditioning for a dodgy musical.

I will never get bored of watching stuff like this.

milkinc13 · 31 May 2008 at 22:09

BBC news is saying the this mission has a spare toilet pump

(leet here)

They run countless replays over the next hour(ish). Keep watching NASA TV.

Fixed.

But yes, wow. :eek:

aslco · 31 May 2008 at 22:10

Travelling over 11,000mph. Soon they will slow down to just 3 x normal mavity to make it less harsh on crew emembers.

p4radox · 31 May 2008 at 22:10

Incredible to watch. Currently 10,000 mph!
