Although everything is going as planned, nasa oficials did notice a small panel that appeared to fall off the shuttle shortly after lift off. It poses no safety concerns they say - indeed a small plane encroaching on the shuttle's air space just before the launch seemed even more dangerous.
RALPH ROE/KSC LAUNCH DIRECTOR:
For the crew though, the work is just beginning. the orange
flight suits will come off shortly after establishing orbit, when the astronauts will roll up their sleeves and begin a battery of tests and experiments.
