"Discovery is in space tonight"

That's what a local newsman reported on the late night newscast tonight. The rare night launch was successful after the scrub earlier in the week.

Building the international space station.

Awesome.

It still, after all these years, gives me chills.

And it never fails to disappoint me when the portrayal of such magnificence is taken for granted, as if it were nothing more than a routine turn of events.

Seems to me, our appreciation of the space program should be filled with awe and wonder, even now.
