Finally, the shuttle will launch

Discovery is set to blast off tonight, according to this article in The New York Times. Originally, the shuttle was scheduled to lift off on Feb. 12, and Rob and Alex headed to Florida with their Grammy and Papa for the launch. Unfortunately, the launch was delayed (more than once), and the boys missed it, though they still had a great time on vacation.

UPDATE: The launch was postponed again, this time until Sunday, which puts a crunch on the mission.
