I just watched the shuttle's liftoff on a live NASA feed.
Words fail me. The sheer beauty and elegance of the whole thing. The worry and concern over what has happened before.
Liftoff was picture perfect, however. Discovery is up and away.
I still have the feed running, and am listening to updates of altitude and speed. The external fuel tank was just jettisoned, and the crew is now photographing and filming the tank so NASA can analyse them to make sure no foam seperated from the tank.
Man. I'd love to be at one of the liftoffs.
