Not saying I'll be up to watch this event, but I must admit, NASA TV Live do a great job with coverage of the Space Shuttle Missions.

It would be interesting to go down to Tidbinbilla in the ACT and see if they are taking part in the Mission.

Very interesting place to visit if you've got some time. Theres a good museum there as well with lots of moon/space stuff.

Would just love to go inside and have a look.....

They did participate.

US reaction:
"wtf is that"
"a footprint"
"quick, call the military, lets go and destroy them so we get the planet"
