STS-124 Mission Underway

Editor's note: Space Shuttle Discovery has left the pad and is headed for orbit on the STS-124 Mission.

According to NASA: "Space shuttle Discovery is on its way into space on the power of its two solid rocket boosters and three main engines! The launch traced a fiery arc across the sky of Florida's East Coast as the shuttle races to catch up to the International Space Station."

Well, I must say, that cnn just ticked me off. If you look at the headline right this second, the headline is "Shuttle Discovery blasts off carrying toilet fix".

I mean jeez...I know the broken toilet is an amusing headline grabber, but c'mon folks...its carrying much more than that...

I've got a screen capture of the headline should you be interested.
