Sorry if this has been posted already.

There's a livestream of the Soyuz launch to the ISS, due to launch at 21:01 GMT.

That was cool. I never tire of watching the launch livestreams, hopefully one day I might see one in person.

Would have been incredible to watch one of the Saturn Vs launch.

Two more, before the final stage and right after the final stage

They did get a jolt on that final stage, even she was a bit surprised, the other two where un-phased (well I couldn't see the cosmonaut since the camera was not on him ever, I only saw his hand grabbing something what the American dropped after the jolt). Also the snowman went off view but came back to it's position eventually, added image :)

Pretty cool stuff, now to wait 5 hours for the rendezvous coverage with ISS.

Docking coverage has started! Docking is meant to be at ten to, has a cool view of them lining it all up.
