I don't want to be labelled a cynic, but isn’t it a marvellous coincidence for NASA that the Shuttle Discovery managed to launch (safely) on the 4th of July? Originally scheduled for a 1 July liftoff, the Shuttle's departure was delayed by bad weather and safety concerns. No doubt, many will see the day as a fitting one for America's "return to space". Here's hoping the crack found in the Shuttle's insulating foam, but deemed safe, doesn't preclude a safe return for the crew.
