It wont be anywhere near as exciting as Launch but if you're a bit bored at the moment I'm sure there might be a few interesting shots of the Space Shuttle re-entering, 20mins until it hits the atmosphere at 17000mph (similar speed to that of a saxo)

I'm going to have to apoligise, it appears in fact that Space Shuttle landing is only slightly less enjoyable than sticking your penis through a mincing machine....
