Excellent result! Well done to the whole team!

Was hoping to watch it live - but MSNBC failed to load and both BBC24 and Sky News had live coverage of that tw@t Blair

I remember the days of Sputnik 1, Sputnik 2, Laika, Vostok 1, Yuri Gagarin, Alan Shepherd, Valentina Tereschkova, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo - even STS1. But live coverage of the most important aerospace event since the Wright Brothers? Too much to ask for - the BBC pansies had BLOODY TENNIS on both channels.

Is there really so little interest in such truly pioneering achievements nowadays? Digiyoof probably thought it was created on a computer.....
