WE HAVE LIFT-OFF!!!

It was a sight for sore eyes to see the Space Shuttle program take to the reaches of space again today. It has been almost 2 1/2 years since the Columbia exploded during reentry into the earth's orbit after its mission had been completed. Today's lauch seemingly went off without a hitch. Launch day is still an incredible rush to me after all of these years. God speed to all of the astronauts and the people running the show at the Johnson and Kennedy Space Centers.
