Russia's M-27M spacecraft, on a mission to resupply the ISS, is out of control and apparently heading for a fiery death as it tumbles towards Earth. :( Track it here: http://www.n2yo.com/satellite/?s=40619 Live updates from The Guardian here...

http://www.nbcnews.com/video/nbcnews.com/53885409/ Cool! Live video coverage of the International Space Station repair spacewalk. I don't know how long it will last.

...is scheduled for 1445 EST on Thursday, Feb 7. May be viewed, as always, on NASA TV at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/live_tv.html. Chances of launch in spite of weather are currently estimated at 40%. Be there or be square. (Some people think I'm a wee bit over the top about this...
