Discovery Launch, STS-124
While Bill's dad was here, he was hoping to see the shuttle launch. Unfortunately, he's spent the entire time he's been here in the hospital, aside from about the first 15 he was here. Luckily though, he was able to get out of the hospital (not discharged, just OUT) to view the shuttle launch yesterday.
Here's Billy, with the shuttle in front of him.
The STS-124 mission is primarily for delivering the pressurized module and Japanese robotic arm to the International Space Station. What else is very cool? My friend from school (Chris) is in a very successful punk band (The Phenomenauts), and they will be part of the mission as well. Follow this link to read on...
