We're Back In Orbit

Our little group sat around for a while this morning watching NASA TV with one eye and the live FOX News broadcast with the other. I was disappointed to realize that the NASA TV web feed is delayed a couple of minutes--for what reason I don't understand.

After watching the first 30 seconds of flight, we all ran out the door and down to the pool deck where we were joined by a half dozen of our neighbors all looking south, hoping to see the Discovery climbing out toward orbit.

No such luck...we had a clear sky, but a light haze that prevented us from seeing five miles let alone one hundred and five miles.

Oh well...at least everyone is safe...so far...
