spectacular lift-off so it was!

I watched TV and NASA streaming.... what was confusing was the NASA feed has a 60 to 90 second delay.... whats up with that?

On CNN the STS121 was about 3 miles up before the engines fired on Streaming feed....

Oh wel;l It looked good "Live"... twice.

First thing after wake-up and breakfast they are going to deploy the CANAD-ARM with the extension and look at the ship. There was a scarey looking piece of ice they filmed at about 15 minutes downrange that was 8 ft long and only 40 yds or so from the orbiter.

Hope all is well.
