mikailborg: I can't even remember what event I was attending, but I must have been taking it seriously. (space_tech)

Wil Wheaton is reviewing old ST: TNG episodes for a website known as TV Squad. He's just reviewed Justice, and my trivia sense tingled; Brenda Bakke, the half-naked actress who gleefully welcomes Worf as the "Huge One", also played Nim, the Texas Air Ranger in Gunhed.

This, of course, contributes nothing at all to your day.

Slighlty more interestingly, astronomer Phil Plait has posted that tonight's 9:35 launch of the Space Shuttle will be visible over most of the US' east coast. A link to a similar opportunity from '97 suggests that Norfolk viewers might be able to see the STS reach 12 degrees over the south-southeast horizon, while Roanoke area space buffs will only see the engine glow for 5 degrees (possibly discounting intervening mountains).

(I'll probably forget to go look, though.)

It didn't go up due to weather anyway. But if it had, I'd have missed it too, 'cause I was distracted by other stuff.

Doh. It's now a little after 10:35 as I post this. Missed it by a bloody hour.

Apparently the weather was bad that night - it only had a 40% chance of launching anyway. I think it's going up today, but I don't know if it'll be a night launch.
