If anyone is intere4sted NASA are launching the space shuttle at 7:38pm this evening (our time) I'm just watching on-line at the moment as they get ready for launch.

Discovery's mission will take it to the International Space Station (ISS), to deliver equipment and supplies.

It will also drop off German Thomas Reiter, who will become the first European Space Agency (Esa) astronaut to experience an extended tour of six months on the orbiting platform.
