WOO-HOO! What a Launch!!!



Beauty Is the Night

The waters of Cape Canaveral captured the reflection of space shuttle Discovery as it lifted off on the STS-119 mission from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The STS-119 mission is the 28th to the International Space Station and the 125th space shuttle flight. Discovery will deliver the final pair of power-generating solar array wings and the S6 truss segment.

Great job Tony!!! We are all so proud of you! A dream come true. Emily and Audrey are letting everyone know that they know someone in space. Emily is not taking off STS 119 charm that Janeen gave her until you are safely back on earth. Have a great mission. We are thinking of you. The Marticello family
