America Returns to Space

Just in case you were wondering what I’ll be doing at about 3:51 PM Eastern Standard Time this afternoon, I’ll be watching the NASA TV Webcast of the Space Shuttle Discovery launch.

Rumor has it that the TV Networks are going to cover the launch live so those of you that don’t have cable or DSL internet service can watch it too, but if you have fast internet you should check out the NASA site for some cool images.

Unlike much of the American people and the balance of the world, I still get excited about things that fly, especially things that can obtain orbital velocity of 18,000 MPH.

Let's hope that NASA has got it's act back together and everyone is safely delivered to orbit, docks with the space station, and comes home in one piece.
