STS 121 - Discovery launched today, the third times a charm. This is the 32nd flight of Discovery. We watched lift off on the NASA channel as a start to our 4th of July celebration. This is Jared's first flight to work. He has the graveyard shift from 8:30 pm-5 am. He was pretty excited when he left.
We had a downpour most of the morning and then we went to a BBQ this afternoon at some friends house. Erin and I watched the first part of the fireworks, but she was tired and the skeeters were horrible so we headed home around 10pm.
Happy 4th of July! This is the 32nd flight of Discovery.

pardon me but what does jared do when he has a "flight to work"? indeed very exciting.
Jared works rendezvous. He works in one of the back room of mission control as a support personnel. He calculates the shuttle burns to link the shuttle up with the space station. It’s a littler more complex than that, but I really don’t understand the entire lingo J
