About 160 people in the CyberDome Theater erupted in applause as the Space Shuttle Discovery lifted off from Kennedy Space Center at 9:39 a.m. CDT! The picture perfect launch marked the United States’ return to manned spaceflight after more than two years! Participants in today’s show were treated to a special presentation about this Return to Flight mission.
Among the spectacular shots NASA provided of the launch was beautiful live video taken from the Shuttle’s external fuel tank gently separating from the orbiter.
Stay tuned right here at Stars Over Kansas as we bring you the latest video, images and news from the Return to Flight mission! We’ll also be carrying the mission live on NASA TV here during Exploration Place operating hours in the CyberDome Theater lobby, so you can catch all aspects missions live for the next few weeks.
Let’s hear it for science!
