The live feed from SpaceX's website begins at 10:40 a.m. Eastern and can be found only (not at spacevidcast or uStream) here... SpaceX webcast Weather is a 60% go. Considering the fact that most maiden launches end in failure, be prepared! - Luke. ID: 1000626 ·

Last modified: 4 Jun 2010, 18:21:03 UTC I'd hate to bear that responsibility Vic! Yeah I know, Me neither. I'm just waiting here for some work to be done on the house on Monday and for a possible small check$25 from an VA/ALS(Duke University) study I participated in to come My way, Then I can sell the GTX295 and get My 1st of 5(maybe) Monsta Lite 420/360 Radiators for the PC and the triple 470 video card cooling, All I have to have is the money, But that will come with time and I've got lots of time. :D It would be nice If I could also get one of these too, But their about $197.95 to My place, So I have to choose, lovely.

Eric and I drove a Smurf blue mighty-mighty Escort around for years! We bought it used and ran that little car around until it could not be resurrected. It got us from point A to point B with great mileage and low maintenance costs, which is pretty much what I go for in a car... ID: 1000727 ·

I go for cars that return good mileage now due to the prohibitive cost of fuel over here. I drive a Toyota Prius, which is exactly what I have booked for over there next week too! ID: 1000731 ·
