STS-124 Launch

I can no longer upload videos longer than 10min, else I would have posted a full coverage.
The mission will mark: * 154th manned US space launch * 123rd space shuttle flight since STS-1 * 98th post-Challenger mission * 10th post-Columbia mission * 11th flight remaining in the shuttle program * 26th flight to the ISS * 35th flight for shuttle Discovery * 3rd shuttle mission in 2008

Update:5:30, left OMS secondary maneuvering electronics system has failed, however the primary system is in good shape.
