The space shuttle Discovery is scheduled to launch this week, although weather in that part of the world is certainly a factor.

We took our campers to watch it on the big screen at one of the stadiums at work. And then we saw it going up in the sky behind the screen. 'Twas awesome and happy. :)

After the spacewalks, Discovery's seven astronauts and the space station's two crew members found time to pay tribute to Columbia's fallen explorers.

"They knew the risks, but they believed in what they were doing," first-time space flier Charles Camarda said. "They showed us that the fire of the human spirit is insatiable. They knew that in order for a great people to do great things, they must not be bridled by timidity."
