They're home!
Julianna and I left a little late for work this morning so that we could watch the Space Shuttle Discovery land.
Awesome.
Watching the ball of light in the early morning sky transform into the shape of the Space Shuttle was pretty incredible.
Discovery’s trip was considered “historical” and “unprecedented” and a slew of other media-inspired adjectives for a variety of good reasons. But, the thing I’m most excited about is the fact that the space program will most likely continue because of this. (By the way, I’m first in line to take a trip to the moon, if that ever happens.)
Thank God that the astronauts are safe and that nothing disastorous occurred.
