KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, FLA. -- Birds - herons or storks -- in the area of Launch Pad 39B are startled into flight as Space Shuttle Atlantis roars into the sky on mission STS-110. Flames from the solid rocket boosters look like inverted torches. Liftoff occurred at 4:44:19 p.m. EDT (20:41:19 GMT). Carrying the S0 Integrated Truss Structure and Mobile Transporter, STS-110 is the 13th assembly flight to the International Space Station.
