There's no timer on the feed, but at the moment they appear to be vacuuming. I'll take that as a sign that it's not going to launch in the next hour. Anybody have an actual time when that's supposed to happen?
It's sad to see the Shuttle go without a replacement. And to jog my own memory of the day I saw the shuttle in the UK, here's a set of pictures from the day Enterprise visited Stansted Airport in the UK: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mike_ward/sets/7215760339467228... I was there as a boy standing against the wire fence with my father to see this amazing machine. Bloody marvellous!
The shuttle may well have been too expensive, too dangerous and too limited in capabilities. But to me as a simple enthusiast it's still a truly glorious machine that would be sad to see go even with a better replacement on the next pad. Without that....
One day, we will return.

After this last mission, the U.S. manned space program's capabilities will be back in the 1950s.

It's strange to think that in fifty years of manned spaceflight, NASA has only ever built four types of spaceship: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Shuttle. The Shuttle had a good run. It was both technically awesome and in many ways ridiculous and pointless. Anyway, time for the future now.

It's due to be around 4:30pm GMT (edited to correct the time, I was out by an hour)
