Discovery Launch

Last launch of Discovery, good link on the BBC to the launch with mission control commentary:

Still an impressive site any rocket taking off, even though the space shuttle was always a bit of a mish mash of a vehicle.

I can remember the seeing the first launch! Several aborted attempts but at Primary School lessons were stopped so we could watch it on television.
