SHOULD be at 3ish. But only a 30% chance of launch apparently

Live on BBC News and http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/ if you can't get to a TV.

Who knows what's going to happen in Space exploration from now on, supposedly China have said they want to land someone on the moon by the end of the decade, G.W.Bush said he wanted man back there by 2020 as well, but I think Obama cancelled that?

Mankind needs to go back into space properly, and I'd guess China are most likely seeing as they'll be the richest country on the planet.

Should be spending money on this rather than global warming/afghan war etc IMO.

Why only 30% chance of launch? Bad weather?

Obama cancelled lunar missions, was on one of James May's programs I think.

China are a little behind
