NASA's Dawn mission gets off to a great start

It launched this morning and excepting delay because of a boat in the area where the spare parts fall into the Ocean, it went perfectly.

It's a record breaking mission because it's the first time a spacecraft will orbit two different (lesser in this case) planets.

The Press Kit has details on the mission;
