Discovery Launch…
Just had a quick cocktail of reality and pride all mixed together, and unusual combo that I haven’t tasted in awhile. WOW, just watching and listening to the space shuttle Discovery launch, what an amazing site to see. America– yeah, we’re the country that has a SPACE-SHUTTLE, that’s right!
Americans have produced and continue to innovate and we’re awesome! For a moment I forgot about recession, job losses, health care, Iraq, etc. It only took 2 minutes of watching Discovery’s launch to bring back a flood of childhood memories. I clearly remember staying home for elementary school to watch Columbia land at White Sands in 1982. It’s easy to take for granted all the unbelievable accomplishments that have taken place in my 39 year life span. Not only can we launch a shuttle, we can watch in beautiful clarity from multiple angles… the power and awe of American engineering.
