I was down in Titusville for the launch of STS-119. Seeing Discovery launch was an absolute delight and a feather in my cap. I’ve been a fan of the STS program since I can remember. The first launch was only 3 1/2 months after I was born. I remember having turned 5 not even a month before the Challenger disaster. Been a fan of the program and saw every launch on TV when I could. I happened to be visiting my parents in Florida when STS 119 was pushed back a day. This allowed my mother and I to drive from Jacksonville down to Titusville to witness the miracle of launch.

Thank you, Discovery.
