Liftoff, if a little late

Finally, the space shuttle Discovery launched, nearly a month behind schedule. This was the launch that the boys were supposed to see when they went to Florida. Hopefully, all goes well with the solar panels for the space station. I'm sure it's hard for people to be excited about space exploration right now, especially with the economy suffering, but we can never stop the pursuit of knowledge. Space is still an untapped frontier, and I hope our kids can discover more about it.
