The MESSENGER mission to Mercury is underway!  I have a lot to say about this mission and its goals, but today I just have some video for you to enjoy.  Go to

http://messenger.jhuapl.edu/the_mission/movies.html

to see movies of the launch (spectacular!) and assembly of this fine spacecraft.  Widget and I particularly enjoy watching the time-lapse assembly videos accessible fom the last link on the page.  It’s quite entetaining to see the guys in white clean suits scurry around and make the mission happen!
