Space Shuttle Discovery

Good evening dear world.....Good news

The Space Shuttle Discovery blasted off successfully today at Kennedy Space Center earlier today. The astronauts on board are Eileen M. Collins - Mission Commander, James M. Kelly - Pilot, Charles J. Camarda - Mission Specialist, Wendy B. Lawrence - Mission Specialist, Soichi Noguchi - Mission Specialist representing the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, Stephen K. Robinson - Mission Specialist and Andrew S.W.Thomas - Mission Specialist.

Right now I am wondering how the earth looks from a space shuttle in outer space. I am not seeing what the astronauts are seeing so I wonder if where they are is as beautiful as I imagine it to be. Everything must look different up there.

I can look out at the night but I can't begin to imagine what the night looks like out there in outer space. I just wonder if the stars are different in space than they are in the night sky. I also wonder if space is blue like the night here in Georgia. Its hard to think about a place I have never experienced or shall ever experience.

Good night Space Shuttle Discovery..... Good night astronauts..... and Good night dear world..... Sleep well everyone

Good night to you too Mush!  This was a wonderful, thoughtful entry!  Probably, the stars are clearer from the space shuttle windows, but no more beautiful than the stars filtered through the Georgia sky.
