Well, it happened already at 17:45 GMT, but anyway:

Thanks to the public Bavarian tv (Bayerischer Rundfunk) and its "Space Night" program, I just saw the launch of the Sojus rocket with the ESA Mars Express spacecraft from Baikonur - a very nice launch (just like the last Ariane 4 launch, I've seen... *sigh*) and beautiful to look at: Due to the enigne configuration, it looked like a star with six shiny rays - very nice! Mars Express should reach its target in December, btw.

Greetings from Munich!
