Was anyone else watching the launch?

I could be poetic and desribe it as the last great leap into the stars, but we still have rockets for that

But it is the end of an era. With budget constraints these days the days of feats of engineering and scientific breakthroughs are all but at an end

As a rocket scientist it saddens me to see the end of this era.

God speed gentlemen and lady. Have a safe trip and say Hi to the stars....we won't be back for a while (except the crew of the ISS obviously...you're stuck up there for a while now!)
