And There They Go
After a couple of weather delays, Discovery lifted off the pad. The MSM is calling it "historic" because they've never had a Shuttle launch on the 4th of July. It's historic because the STS hasn't been scrapped yet. They need to retire the old birds and get the Ares system going. Don't get me wrong... I love the Shuttle. I have for over 25 years. Not the point. The shuttles are getting old... and there are only so many upgrades you can make on a system that complex.
God Speed to the astronauts. Have a good time. Be safe.
