3, 2, 1... we have liftoff...

[cairistiona]

... and my bucket list will henceforth always have one item on it that I didn't get to do:  watch a space shuttle launch in person.  Came within a week of it, once, on our previous trip to Florida, and one other time we came with a few days, but it never worked out.  But boy, has it ever been fun (and sometimes heartbreaking) seeing the launches on tv all these years.  Amazing, amazing, amazing. 

Godspeed, Atlantis!
