hurling ourselves into space

Shuttle Discovery launched this morning. What an awesome sight! It still totally amazes me that we can hurl ourselves into space, not to mention to Mars. I get goosebumps watching launches, even on t.v. and am reminded of the one launch that I was fortunate enough to watch from the Cape: the Mars Odyssey Spacecraft. When that sound wave from the takeoff hits you, your entire insides vibrate and it is an exhilerating feeling like no other.

Discovery is up and I pray for the success of this mission and the safe return of the astronauts to solid ground.
