The Space Shuttle Atlantisis set to roar into space today, Monday November 16, at 19:28 GMT (14:28 Eastern time). Unlike the last time, weather looks pretty good for an on-time launch.

Unfortunately, I'll be sitting on an airplane during the launch so I'll miss it, but lots of people are covering it on Twitter. Just search on the hashtag #nasatweetup to get all the info you need. Image courtesy NASA.
