"KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Florida (CNN) -- Riding a brilliant tower of flame into the night sky, the space shuttle Endeavour left Earth on Friday, carrying seven astronauts on a 15-day mission to the international space station.
"Space shuttle Endeavour lifted off at 7:55 p.m. ET on Friday, en route to the international space station.
"The space shuttle Endeavour launched on time at 7:55 p.m. ET on Friday from the Kennedy Space Center in eastern Florida, mission managers announced."
It's been a long time since I fell asleep on the couch, watching a video feed from Tranquility Base. But it's still exciting to see a spaceship take off. Even if it's an old freighter.
