Proposed STS-135 event in Melbourne - Australia

Given that this is the last time we will ever see a space shuttle launch, plans are being drawn up to have a gathering to watch the walk out, strap in, close out, count down and launch of Atlantis on NASA TV. And to see her get to orbit safely and savour the multi angle launch replays...

The launch is scheduled for 1:26 AM Saturday July 9 (late Friday night) in Melbourne, we need someone to open their home/office/multi media home theatre with suitable broadband connection and display for the group to share, we'll bring the 'launch beans'!

Go to The Space Association of Australia and we will post any updates as details are worked out.
