Shuttle launches tonight. Even if we can't watch it on TV anymore.
The thought of growing up to be a rocket scientist or astronaut seems to have lost its cool in competition with the instant success of American Idol. Perhaps this is due to the natural human tendency towards laziness. Or perhaps it’s because we don’t watch enough shuttle launches with our kids.
Tonight you can rectify the problem. Tune in around 7PM to see NASA launch one of the last 8 shuttle missions at 7:13PM.
