MRO - lifts off

Well, after 2 delays, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) finally lifted off this morning a little before 7:00 a.m. CDT.

There are several things that are interesting about this orbiter, but one is the digital camera onboard. It can resolve objects on the surface the size of a kitchen table... that is some resolution.
