LIVE COVERAGE: China to launch huge rocket, carrying first module of TIANGONG 1 space station, TODAY

CNTV is doing a live coverage. It seems that the weather is ok and the Chinese space agency has a go. For those who are interested in watching it, here's a streaming link:

I'm using it with VLC.

How do you open it in VLC?

This is it!?!?!!! Did the OP abandon the thread? What happened next?!?

I also watched it live and lift off went well and it went into orbit as planned according to the Chinese....

ya neil cavuto on fox today had the last man to walk on the moon, he was pissed about the space shuttle being discontinued. called it the greatest leap in aviation ever. i know i saw a cable channel documentary that said the en.wikipedia.org... was the most complex thing ever invented by man. hopefully the next generation rockets and space tech coming out of nasa will be better, faster, cheaper than china's programs.
