I had the TV on in the background, waiting for the Rules & Bylaws Committee to reconvene, when C-SPAN broke to the shuttle Discovery Launch at Cape Kennedy. I've been so busy lately I hadn't even realized there was going to be a shuttle launch today.
Perfect launch, and Discovery is on her way to the International Space Station. Those launches are always so nervewracking, given the history of the shuttle program. I always hold my breath till the moment the solid rocket boosters finally separate.
Godspeed, Discovery.
