STS 124 DISCOVERY LAUNCH DAY UPDATES

[Urwumpe]

I'm watching the 300k stream.
(This f stupid Deutsche Telekom thinks that no fast connection is needed in this "very, very remote area" here :chair: . Even my grandparents in Norway have a faster connention.)

Well come in my club, I also only have 500 KBit here.

According to the Deutsche Telekom (now known as Stasi 3.0, as it is involved in a large scale espionage scandal), I should not be able to use DSL, but instead pay 85€/month for a ISDN flatrate...

Did anyone else's NASA TV decide to drop down to about 1 frame per 2 seconds about 10 seconds before the launch?

Is it me, or is that the clearest image we've ever had from the ET Cam?
