Odyssey has launched from Cape Canaveral, Goodbye Ground

I sat in the Space Shuttle “Discovery” , 2H before the launch at Pad 39A , KSC.

“All the systems are GO !”

"T- 10…9…8…7…6…5…4…3…2…1. IGNITION AND LIFTOFF OF STS-136 !! GO Odyssey, Go Discovery Go NASA!!

“Houston, we have cleared the Tower, you go.”

"We go, Thanks Kennedy, "

"Trajectory is nominal, propulsion is nominal. "

2min later, "We passed Karman, 100KM, welcome to space 🚀 "

“See y’a on the ISS”

You will miss, Earth

See you tomorrow for the first photos of the Magnificent Home Earth. Let me know if you want any country.

I’ve been informed about the situation, poor astronauts. I wouldn’t say no but it’s kinda weird yeah to be stuck there. Don’t worry, i’m on way to help them 🚀
