STS-119 is off!!


They did it! The crew of STS-119 was launched into space on time tonight and have reached orbit apparently flying at 17,500 miles per hour. It is amazing that is even possible! The shuttle (Discovery)is scheduled to arrive at the International Space Station (ISS) in two days. I am so excited that everything went off without a hitch! Given the not to distant past of possible disasters it is always nice when a shuttle makes it into space without any issues. I pray that the astronauts stay safe and complete their mission without any problems.
