Ground control to Major Tom, take your protein pills and put your helmet on.

I just wish we were father along in space exploration, when I was a boy I thought by now we'd have a nice big space stations, base on the moon, etc. I would love to travel in space.

Carol

Big Dog, save your pennies, they add up to dollars and when you reach 10 million of those....you too can travel to the space station!

My daughter finds the ride at EPCOT fills her need for speed!

It was pretty cool to see the large orange thing (the name escapes my mind) drift off the space shuttle in space. I woke up to the start of the launch on the radio and then I tuned into CNN and watched the whole thing. Pretty cool.

Nothing would make me do what theve done, im scared of flying. You have to admire their bravery, espacially when things have gone wrong !!!!!!!!!

It was pretty exciting wasn`t it Carol, I too am lucky enough to stepout onto my balcony and see the launches perfectly. Have lived in the area most of my life, the Air Force & Space Center was the reason we moved here. I t was good to see the excitement in the air today.

Never seen a shuttle lunch but did see Concorde taking off - awesome

I watched the launch this morning. I was filled with pride and just a little apprehension. NBC News reported tonight that on-board cameras showed a large piece of debris falling from the side of Discovery in the seconds after liftoff. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
