Glimpse of Discovery: I was able to catch a one-second glimpse of Discovery as it flew by over North Texas at 6:16 a.m. local time. It was mostly cloudy, so I only saw it briefly. Later Sunday, I saw some of the interviews given by the astronauts aboard the space shuttle. I pray they return home safely.
