Sky rockets in flight

Science & Nature, Technology, Work July 21st, 2005

Afternoon delight. Er, um, I guess mid-morning delight. From the Return to Flight website:

NASA officials have announced plans to the begin the countdown to a July 26 launch of Space Shuttle Discovery. The countdown will start Saturday, with a test of the External Tank to follow early on launch day. If all goes well with the test, the countdown will continue to liftoff at 10:39 a.m. EDT on Tuesday.

I’ll have to tell Chuck I might be a little late on Tuesday morning. I can’t help but think of Bill Murray from Stripes: “Alright boys, just like last time… ONLY BETTER!”
