Today marks the return to flight for the space shuttle program.

I have been an avid geek of everything space and witnessed the 2 shuttle tragedies along with damn near every launch that's taken place.

I am very excited to see NASA put this behind them and get back to doing what they've been good at doing, this time checking their ego's at the door! Remember guys, we are dealing with the lives of others, just because your degree says you know everything, take critism as well!.

The countdown is on! Launch at 3:51pm today! Go STS114!!!

EDIT: And just like that:
