Those Busy, Busy Skies...



The Ides of March is the day when Julius Caesar became Osiris. And after several "delays," the Discovery was launched at 1943 EST, en route to the ISS (aka ISiS). 1+9+4+3=17, of course. The mission will run 13 days instead of the originally scheduled 14. Speaking of martyred kings, the mission was originally supposed to have launched on Abraham Lincoln's birthday.

This 17 meme is really unfolding. I wonder where it will ultimately lead. One thing for sure, is that, I will be along for the ride. This can't be ignored or cast aside as coincidence. This is real.
