    The looks like the X-33 on the commander's wrist. Not seen the wrist of the pilot.

    Pretty cool being able to recognise the X-33 being worn there. Bet there will be an increase in sales following this.

    I no longer own any Speedies but I think I'm okay wearing my Pogue, given that's been up there too.

    Poor weather stops play. If this was a British rocket there'd be a load of lads running on with the covers.

    Wasn't Apollo 13 on last night - so you could still have worn your Speedmasters in any event.

    Omega Speedmaster is a beautiful watch. However I believe the humble gshock is the most worn watch in space since the early 80's. Not fact, read it years ago and cannot remember source. Soz

    Fortis have a good shout for hours spent in space, I believe.

    I wish I heard that it was cancelled. I was standing in my backgarden (speedie on of course) looking at the sky for more than half an hour like a complete lemon

    Surprised no-one posted "Houston, we have a problem" on the night (I know they didn't say that, btw).
