Satellite Launch

If you guys are dying to see a launch tonight, we have a geo going up from Kourou, French Guiana around 5:30 tonight. I think you can see it on the launch company's webcast/site (below). The actual feed isn't up yet, but there's some interesting stuff on there now about satellite launches.
I won an all expense paid trip in a contest last year and my family and I had the opportunity hang out and party with the bigs, tour Cape Canaveral/Kennedy Space Center and watch the launch of another satellite from the balcony of the building that was the command center for the Apollo missions. While a launch itself is fairly short, it is an awesome experience. I would really like to see a shuttle take off.
