Space Shuttle Still Amazes

While it didn't get a lot of attention -- I don't think I heard anything about the Space Shuttle blasting off yesterday because of news about the California fires -- there's something always amazing about watching video of a space shot.

Reports the AP:

Shuttle Discovery and its crew of seven thundered into orbit Tuesday, setting off on the most challenging space station construction mission yet that will pave the way for the arrival of two science labs in a few months.
