Quick Break For Shuttle Launch

The AP reported the following earlier:

 

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) - Space shuttle Discovery and a crew of seven rocketed away Tuesday in pursuit of the international space station, where a formidable construction job awaits them.

 

 

Discovery blasted off at 11:38 a.m., carrying up a giant Tinkertoy- type link that must be installed at the space station before European and Japanese laboratories can arrive.

The Champlain Four, their leadership, and faculty took a few minutes to go see the take-off, which was very cool. I imagine this is not something you see everyday in Burlington, VT.

Here are a few pictures for those who missed the take-off.
