The Expedition 18 / TMA-13 Soyuz Rocket launched on October 12th, 2008 at 7:01am UTC destined for the International Space Station. This is the full media event as seen on NASA TV. Liftoff occurs one hour in to the video, but there is some great video rolled throughout, so we decided to post the whole thing.

Docking wit the International Space Station should occur October 14th at 8:38am UTC and we will be covering it *live* at http://www.spacevidcast.com/live and making the video available on-demand on your favorite video sharing site!

A closer look at Enceladus, sending your message from Earth and a new liquid telescope in our news. Space is not just a dangerous business, sometimes it can also be fatal. In this episode we look into some explosions as well as some national tragedies. The sacrifices, heroes and failures that allowed us to learn, improve and get to where we are today, laying the groundwork for an incredible tomorrow.

The Telescope has a birthday, SpaceX and China have something to celebrate together and we as a space community are just a little confused. Maybe a just a jump to the left and then a step to the right, with your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight... nah maybe not.
This and so much more on this "Two steps forward, one step back" episode #026!

SpaceX is the only private company to ever reach earth orbit with their Falcon 1 rocket. This is the FULL 40 minute webcast from about T-10 minutes until well after SECO. We didn't want to cut out the chorus of cheering after the SpaceX crew realized that they had just made history!

While Scaled Composites did reach space twice and thus winning the Ansari X PRIZE, they did not actually reach orbit. The Falcon 1 with its simulated payload is the first private vehicle to reach orbit on Sunday September 28th, 2008 at 23:31 UTC.

Space flight forever changed today.

This is the last time two space shuttles are scheduled to be on both launch pads at the same time. This even has not happened since 2001, and it is a rarity that is an amazing sight. After Space Shuttle Atlantis launches (No earlier than October 14th, 2008) Space Shuttle Endeavour will be moved from pad 39B to pad 39A allowing NASA to retire pad 39B and redesign it for use on Constellation.

This is China's first EVA mission, which is remarkable since it is really only their 3rd manned mission. Could the space race be about to start up again?
