- If you have a dish (or know someone with one) F2:05 and F2:13 are NASA Select
- TV channels. 13 gives great coverage of the shuttle taking off and landing.
- 05 shows what's going on inside the shuttle (if the cameras on). There's some
- neat things to see. It's worth it to watch it off a dish at least once
- because you don't see those angles on TV (at least where I live). It's not
- just a wide shot of the shuttle taking off.
