On 8:59 PM SL time (11:59 EST) on Friday August 28, the space shuttle Discovery launched into space from Florida.Here in Second Life, the launch was broadcast live via NASA TV from the Imzadi Dry Dock in the Star Trek Museum region. A crowd of about a couple dozen gathered to watch, including Museum Director Wabisabi Matahari. With the liftoff occurring at night, the blastoff was a particularly striking view. One woman was in such a hurry to get over, She had forgotten to dress properly, and it seemed to take forever for her blouse to rez.The Discovery is on a 13 day mission to the International Space Station. Among the supplies delivered, the C.O.L.B.E.R.T. treadmill named after a noted comedian. This is mission 128 for the space shuttle program with six more shuttle flights before the entire fleet is retired.
