***Special Report***Space Shuttle Discovery launches successfully

Two and a half years ago as the Columbia Shuttle crew made their way home from a mission in space disaster struck. Upon their re-entry the shuttle exploded and all the crew members were killed. Today as the Space Shuttle Discovery made its way into space we can only hope and pray that they make it home safely when it is their time to come home. the launch was a success, but it appeared that several pieces of a yet undisclosed material were seen breaking off of the ship. NASA will do everything in their power to make sure the astronauts aboard the shuttle make it home safely, but one must wonder if what broke off the ship is the same thing that caused the tragedy two and a half years ago. My prayers will be with the members of the crew as they continue on with their mission.
