Today's planned space shuttle launch is tailor-made for internet users.
Other events may cause scarcely a ripple on the web, but an army of accredited geeks has descended on Florida for the takeoff, ready to relay the least snippet of information to its natural internet constituency.
Apart from the rather boring mission homepage, for newsy updates you're much better checking out the slightly breathless blog from local newspaper Florida Today or Nasa's own launch blog. The launch itself is expected to take place at 2.38pm Florida time (1938pm BST).
