Russia launched 31 of the 74 space launches this year. The US and China each launched 15. This cool montage of their launches shows their secret. Santa is working for the Russians. Thanks Universe Today!

Watching Space Shuttle Discovery’s Last Launch

I’m in Florida for the last launch of Space Shuttle Discovery. I was selected (presumably at random) by NASA to participate in a Tweetup.
