July 4th.....up, up and away





Lift-off!!!! Space Shuttle Discovery is on its way to the International Space Station with 7 astronauts in tow and a new piece to attach to the station. What a beautiful launch and very patriotic, I might add, since it is the 4th of July. There were something like 300,000 people out to watch the launch, so needless to say I am still at work. Not only to finish up post launch requirements but there is no way I am braving that traffic. All in all it was a good launch and I am very glad we finally got it off. Yea, Shuttle! I hope everyone gets to enjoy some fireworks or 4th festivities. Looks like we got one of the better fireworks shows out here in Cape Canaveral! Click on the picture of all the people at the beach watching and you can see the shuttle lifting off in the background.
