Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth

02/25/2011

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth" is the first line of John Gillespie Magee, Jr.'s, poem "High Flight." The poem came to mind as I watched the video of Discovery's last launch yesterday afternoon. In case you missed it, here's a video of the launch.
