Bear McCreary, composer of the television score for Battlestar Galactica, has created a special symphonic piece for the final shuttle launch of the NASA space shuttle program. According to NASA, "The composition will be played first on Friday morning at the NASA launch TweetUp."
As many of you know, I heart Battlestar Galactica. BUT I'M STILL WATCHING THE SERIES SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD/SPACE/TIME/CARL SAGAN DO NOT TELL ME HOW IT ENDS.
Anywho, there's a chance the shuttle launch may get bumped...again. According to an article published in Computerworld earlier today, lightning and thunderstorms may put the kibosh on tomorrow's scheduled launch. With only a 30% chance of fair skies and isolated thunderstorms expected throughout the late morning hours, we'll have to keep a weather eye open for any updates.
At least they aren't getting Saturn-style thunderstorms.

Although, that would certainly make things "interesting".
