Atlantis is _not_ history yet!
A beautiful, beautiful launch.

Yes, one never gets tired of seeing a shuttle rocketing into the sky.
Heart-stopping stuff.
Incidentally, I loved hearing that Nasa wags had nicknamed Atlantis The
Penguin because it was black and white but didn't fly. That showed 'em!

Huh? That's interesting.

Historically that nickname had been attached to Columbia.
