Description
During a postlaunch news conference at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, the 6:21 a.m. EDT liftoff of space shuttle Discovery was hailed as a great success.
Calling the launch, "a great start to a great mission," Bill Gerstenmaier, associate administrator for Space Operations, said the successful liftoff was a tribute to the team at Kennedy that got the vehicle ready to fly.
Mike Moses, chair of the Mission Management Team, said it was, "a spectacular launch and picture-perfect countdown." He outlined a few minor technical issues that were recorded, but that the spacecraft and crew were ready to start an action-packed mission.
Expressing his happiness that they were able to launch on the first attempt, Pete Nickolenko, STS-131 launch director, said he was proud of the teams that make such a difficult job look so easy.
Also on hand was Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency President Keiji Tachikawa, who noted that this will be the first time two Japanese astronauts will be in space at the same time, as Discovery's Mission Specialist Naoko Yamazaki joins Expedition 23 crew member Soichi Noguchi for the STS-131 mission.
Discovery and crew will spend 13 days in space on their mission to the International Space Station.

Thanks for this fine scene of NASA at work and the commentary. I can't understand why we are retiring the old birds when we don't have a next generation spacecraft ready.

outstanding work and so realistic.maybe they should park the shuttle and make it part of the station. that way they would have a way to leave in emergency

Well, I guess all Space images are going to be sci-fi now. NASA is being striped down and re-budgeted to just take pictures of Earth (Earth Science missions) in the future. I'm starting to think we'll never get back to even the @%@%^& Moon, let alone explore other planets.
