I bet there are a lot of people out there who scour Google Maps and Google Earth constantly looking for kewl shit.

A few years back satellite imagery use to be something that only large companies who forked over thousands of dollars for only a couple thousand miles of coverage. Now it’s all free for public use. I love technology.

damn… can’t believe i missed (forgot) about the launch today. trying to bring the recordings up on the NASA Launch Blog was unsuccessful so far because everybody and their mothers are connected up to NASA’s site servers.

Rocket�s Red Glare!

With a rocket’s red glare, Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Kennedy Space Center in a spectacular display of sound and light befitting of Independence Day.

Commanded by Steven Lindsey, Discovery and its crew of seven astronauts roared from Launch Pad 39B to begin a 15,000-mph chase to rendezvous with the International Space Station.

As Discovery raced into the bright blue sky, cheers and applause erupted across Kennedy and along the nearby beaches of Florida’s Space Coast. Today’s successful launch came on the third try after the first two attempts to launch were dashed by poor weather.

Now under way, Discovery and its crew set their sights on a mission to deliver equipment, supplies and an additional crewmember to the station. While docked, the STS-121 crew will test new equipment and procedures to improve shuttle safety, as well as make repairs to the station.

good luck to the Discovery crew and hat’s off to you.
