Independence Day fireworks

Happy 4th of July everybody! For those of you looking forward to tonight's fireworks, you've already missed the greatest of them all. The space shuttle Discovery was launched today at 2:38pm to the rocket's red glare.
Commanded by Steven Lindsey, Discovery and its crew of seven astronauts roared from Launch Pad 39B to begin a 15,000-mph chase to rendezvous with the International Space Station, due in the late morning hours on thursday.
What a great 4th of July this has truly been.
