STS-121 has cleared the launch-pad, and the mission has begun. A perfect blast-off, on a perfect Fourth of July – this is the first Space Shuttle launch on Independence Day, in the history of the program…
If you like to follow the STS-121 launch and mission, visit the STS-121 Discovery page. It is pretty awesome to have access to all the real-time information, from crew conversations to video, all from the Internet.
Best of luck to the crew of STS-121 and Godspeed!
For those in the U.S.A. happy 4th of July!

P.S. Now that Discovery is safe in orbit, back to the World Cup, and the Alemania vs. Italia game! :-)
