If they don't get it up (oo-er!) by Wednesday night, they'll have to delay it until the end of the month to make way for a Russian cargo ship that's due to go up.

Obama has asked for a complete review on it to possible give the ARES a bit of a kick start.

Remember quite a few years back me and the old man was in Florida and there was a shuttle due to land from a 3 month space mission, So we drove down to cape canaveral in the middle of the night (3 hours drive) got there about an hour before it was due to land.
Was dark and in the distance just about saw the flashing beacon on the shuttle, it came down and looked like nothing more than a 747 coming down at gatwick
