I was just about to complain about nasa tv, didn't think it was working, but then they started talking. I have no idea what they are doing. anyone know what time they dock with the space station?

G'day Mark,

Even better is a free program called Orbitron. You can download it from here -

You get a map of the world and can see the real time positions of any satellite you want. I'm using it right now, watching Atlantis slowly creep up to dock with the space station.

Let me know if you get stuck with anything.

How good is the footage tonight! Space walking, can see the Earth below, could even make out Timhelders house in the U.S.

Some of the footage on this mission is absolutely amazing. I'm watching two astronauts space walking with the robotic arm at the moment. You gotta see it to beleive it.
