      Hi Neive! I will be watching Tim launch live! I will also be in a live chat here that morning just before launch and then tweeting launch updates live 🙂

      You can all watch the launch live too! It will be live on BBC1 or you can watch over the internet on NASA TV! Here is the link to NASA TV: http://www.ustream.tv/NASAHDTV

      Here is the current NASA TV schedule for the launch:
      10 a.m., Tuesday, December 15 – Coverage of the Launch of the ISS Expedition 46/47 Crew on the Soyuz TMA-19M from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan

      If things go well, Tim might be docking by early evening and docking coverage MAY begin around 4:30pm. It depends on how things go on the day though.

      I have also made a video specially for you guys to explain what will happen during the launch to make it easier to follow when you watch it live! You can watch that here:

      Finally dont forget to vote for me before Tuesday if you are enjoying my answers and all the videos 😀
