Just watched the shuttle Discovery lifting off on a mission to the International Space Station - the first mission in almost a year and only the second since the loss of Columbia in 2003.
I always find watching shuttle launches a fairly nail-biting experience, but I’ve barely missed one since NASA started streaming the footage over the Internet. It’s amazing how things have moved on - I remember watching a video window somewhat smaller than a business card which froze every 10 seconds or so - now I can watch it full screen without interruption!
