Go, Discovery!!!

Congratulations to the crew of Discovery on a successful launch! It was truly a thing to see in the warm Florida morning sky as I stood in my front yard to watch the plumes of flame carry the orbiter to it's place in the sky. I didn't realize what a wonderful thing it was to be able to witness every lauch from Cape Canaveral being I live only two counties south of there. However, when I didn't live here and then moved back, I realized how lucky I have been to live where I do. I have seen strikingly beautiful night launches to the horrible Challenger explosion when I was in the 7th grade. All of it happens right here in my backyard.
Cool, huh??
