Space shuttle Discovery has begun its move to the launch pad for its scheduled February 12 liftoff to deliver the final piece of the main core of ISS, the strut the will support the main solar power array that will provide electricity for the station.
February 12, 2009, by the way, is the 200th anniversary of the births of both Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln. The world has changed remarkably in those centuries, do in large part to the great works of those two men. Anyone who despairs for the human future might reflect on what has been accomplished in so short a time. A species capable of embracing such change probably shouldn't be bet against over the long term.
