That BBC journalist who asked a question at the presser is currently slagging off NASA on BBC News 24 for all manner of BS. Unbelievable and rediculous journalism.
Yes sensationalism again... on Sky TV now as 'breaking news - at least 3 pieces of debris come off space shuttle'

Made a phone call to the BBC, explained it to them, and got them to change it
Gordo, can you sort out Sky?

I saw the same report. I dropped them an email. They have also just retracted their foam "gloom and doom" statement.

Out of interest, Chris, who did you phone at Sky? Do you have a contact there?

I did the BBC, didn't see Sky's until now, but they would probably be copying BBC, so it should all come out in the wash
Might need to start a dumb media thread...as I took this off the live updates...so I'm off to ban myself to teach me a lesson

Some early video from orbit (I think it's live).
In my quest for new angles on video, just once I would love to see video recorded in the cargo bay during launch to see how the vibrations affect the payloads, if at all...

Sorry, Not on shift today. I would not worry too much its a one line statement thats forgotten about in a matter of minutes. At this time of night the story probably came from as a red alert on the news wires from AP. All the urgent news wires all flash up on a screen in front of the Studio team, so they home in on something that sounds like a story and put it to air as quickly as they can.

Debris report: Pretty clean launch, did see a few pieces of debris (at least 3) on the LH2 feedline [from what I hear]. Did not see an impact at that time, but obviously being looked at.

Let's hope Marcia "They're all gonna die!" Dunn hasn't seen that yet...
EDIT: and the shot directly above this post... NICE! I see fluffy bunny clouds! (incidentally, did anybody else notice the shapes of the clouds before launch? I saw a goose, and Bill the Cat, and 8 or 9 monsters!)
Okay, so I'm a bit delirious. I'm home from work with the flu.
