Today marks an extremely neat event. Ever since the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up in Earth's atmosphere 2 years ago NASA has placed a ban on space shuttle flights, tonight that ban is lifted with the launch of the SS Discovery. For those of you that can't watch the launch on TV NASA is televising it over the internet, you only need Real Player or Window's Media Player to watch, for more info go here:
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/114_schedule.html (The live coverage of the launch should begin at 3:50 p.m. EST, should everything go according to plan.)
For you Astronomy buffs out there you should be able to see the shuttle as it orbits the Earth. To find out when and where go here:

Once there enter your location. After you've entered your country/city click on your city's name and then the 'click here' link in the top paragraph, a little chart should appear telling you when and where (North, Northwest etc.) the shuttle will appear to you. I hope that most of you will be watching this event, as humans return to space.
