Watch this launch and remember that the Shuttle was traveling 107 mph just nine seconds into its flight. Just under a minute into flight Discovery was already traveling faster than the speed of sound. That's some serious acceleration.

Work has been incredibly busy for me. I've had training and way less free time than normal.

My top ten space movies episode is still coming, I've decided to watch some of these movies again so I can properly rank them. I also have a decade in review episode coming soon, it's going to be a retrospective of the big events of the 2010's and a look forward to what I'm excited for in the 2020's.
