Most Beautiful Fireworks Display

Go, Discovery, Go!

She's flying beautifully. We watched the launch, enjoying our 4th of July fireworks display. It is so amazing to watch our shuttle once again grace the skies and fly into space. In just two days, she'll dock to the International Space Station, where it should be noted that there has been a continuous human presence in space for nearly six years.

May she have a safe flight and let's resume these launches, wrap up construction of the station, give the Shuttles the retirement they've earned, and soon, begin the Ares era... where we return to the Moon and journey onwards to Mars!

Happy 4th of July, America!

Wasn't she beautiful? Hope she flies straight & true & safely home again.

Too late for your time, I guess, but it's still the 4th here, so Happy Independence Day!
