Space Shuttle Discovery Launch



What a beautiful sight it was! It never gets old and brings tears to my eyes every time I see a launch. Space shuttle Discovery and a crew of seven rocketed into orbit today in pursuit of the international space station, where a formidable construction job awaits them. Discovery blasted off at 11:38 a.m., ducking through clouds. It carried a giant Tinkertoy-type link that must be installed at the space station before European and Japanese laboratories can arrive.

If you haven't seen one yet, you really need to look at the schedule and make plans to attend. It is definitely something you will never forget.
