Art imitates life.
I was watching a movie called "Soldier" on tv. Soldier is a space science fiction movie. Decided to check IMDB on the computer to figure out who the actress in it is. Then I noticed a flash outside. Now, I have Christmas lights on the front window. While thinking about that, I remembered the shuttle is going up. Sure enough, I switch to the 24 hour loca news channel. Discovery is on its way. So I ran outside.
Got to see these people:

Space Shuttle Discovery astronauts (L-R) Joan Higginbotham, Pilot William Oefelein, Robert Curbeam, Crister Fuglesang of Sweden, British-born Nicholas Patrick, Sunita Williams and Commander Mark Polansky
Flying in this:

Hearing and feeling the rumble a few minutes after launch was awesome.
