[FPSPACE] Shenzhou 7 EVA

[Nick Watkins]

Any advice from  FPSPACErs to those of us planning to catch the  EVA tomorrow? I have Freeview but not Sky-so just have Sky News and BBC news 24.  I assume they probably won't take it all live-is there a good web source ?  [I have found some of the Chinese sites I have looked at seem abit slow from the UK]

Many thanks,

Yes I realise now that my error was simple stupidity....I had compared 
launch time of 1310 GMT with  Beijing time of 9.10pm , which of course was 
2110 hrs....not 1910 hrs.


I am off to sit on the naughty chair for an hour........or as they say in 
the UK now , so as to be poltically correct , the   " good , minus , minus " 
chair  :O)

John
