Yay! They're back into space, up in orbit. No explosions, no Busey-esque terrorists on the platform.

We took a break around lunchtime at work yesterday to watch the launch. I'd forgotten what it felt like to watch a launch, in particular when it's actually happening live, and you don't know what the next minutes are going to bring.

I hope this fades the pall that has been cast over manned spaceflight these past many years.
