Well, Spaceshuttle Discovery (STS-119) is on it's way to the International Space Station (ISS). The launch was originally scheduled last month, but they didn't get going until today. They are taking some additional solar panels to attach. This will make the occupancy go up from three to six. Also, this increased surface area will make it the third brightest object in the sky, behind only the Sun and the Moon.
I am keeping this short, but I am posting some links that I always go to for space travel information. If you have any you would like to share, please do.
