Watched it live from about 180 miles away :) That thing is bloody fast. One second it's coming off the horizon, the next minute it's way off and yonder.

I bet there's one hell of a call-out charge for this emergency repair.
As for relieving people on board, I suspect they'll be relieving themselves as soon as they can.
That's a relief #

"Discovery will also drop off new ISS crew member Greg Chamitoff and relieve Flight Engineer Garrett Reisman"
Pun intended I assume...

Yeah the launches are pretty amazing, I got to see STS-112 - Shuttle Atlantis in 2002, the noise, speed and sight were spectacular.
Went back this year to tour the space centre, 2hrs on a bus and stopping at various sites around the complex, varying degrees of interesting but make sure the wife takes a book to read LOL ;)
Would highly recommend that anybody interested should get over to Florida while the dollar rate is high and before they retire the fleet!
RIP - STS-107, STS-51L
