Wow

I've adjusted my sleep schedule to the rather odd 4am - noon in order to enjoy the quiet around here in the early morning.

I got up early today, however, to watch the shuttle launch:

Pretty impressive. That was Endeavour's last launch, and NASA's second last. Apparently they're going to switch to renting seats on commercial shuttles. Just think about that for a second. Going to the Space Station has become such a normal thing that NASA doesn't feel the need to own private shuttles to get there - there are commercial ones.
