Finally! Discovery roared into the skies over Florida Tuesday morning as NASA returned to shuttle space flight for the first time since the 2003 Columbia disaster.
Long day, and that's all I can say about that. There were a few hiccups, but if every one of the previous 113 shuttle flights got as much attention about their missing tiles and debris strikes as this one is going to get, then there probably wouldn't have ever been 113 shuttle flights. But here's to the triumph of hope over experience! Hope and some engineers that know what they're doing.
