I watched a bit of the launch this morning, but alas, I decided I better show up at work so left before the space craft actually detached from the plane.

I still hope to see the Da Vinci Project make their attempt soon! I was all set to go to Kindersley to watch their attempt, but alas they delayed. If they go ahead though they might still be the first "Canadian" launch into space.
