STS-120!!

This is an urgent post for people in the UK and Europe. About an hour ago (56 minutes apparently) the Shuttle mission STS-120 launched without any apparent problems. The trajectory takes the Shuttle over the Atlantic and roughly over the southwest of England at about 18:30 BST. From Manchester it will only reach about 15 degrees elevation in the SSW but I'll be trying to spot it.

Did you spot it? Pictures? STS-120 has been interesting flight. Just to mention, they are now coming back. The shuttle unlocked at 5:32 am EST. You can see them landing by watching Nasa TV at http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/shuttle/main/index.html
