Jules Verne ATV -- Europe's First Resupply Ship

Europe launched its Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV) resupply ship on March 12th, named Jules Verne after the author and dreamer. It will dock up with the International Space Station and resupply it, and then later on be burned up in the atmosphere upon re-entry. I'm not too enthusiastic about the last part, as it seems like a waste of a good ship, but I guess making a reusable one would have significantly impacted the complications encountered in developing it.
