Finally!
 

We got shuttle mission STS-122 off the ground! I'm tired of the Europeans complaining about the delay for the installation of their space station module...

Good launch. 11 + 1 day mission. I'll let ya know if they add the extra day.

Tom

CONGRATS, TOM ... SAW THE LAUNCH!! WOOOHOOOO!! :rocket:

WOOOOO HOOOOO!! FLY BABY FLY!!!!

Oh the view! THE VIEW!!!!

You know, I look forward to these posts!!

I watched it during my Tysabri infusion!


Congrats!:)

Congrats Tom! Good launch!

;)

You know a lot of European countries are famous for thier whine...

Wine! I meant to type "wine".:rolleyes:

I watched the launch. It was very pretty. I thought the video of the main booster separating was totally cool.

altho, I always get nervous just before they throttle up...I was a big fan of the shuttle and was the class space nerd (I wanted to be an astronaut) who explained the Challenger disaster to everyone.

I still jump a little and start crying everytime I see video of the Challenger disaster. I also cry everytime I see video of Ronald Reagan saying that "they've slipped the bonds of the surly earth to touch the face of god".

I was seriously affected by the Challenger. I got to see it at an air show once a few years before it was destroyed.

At least they have lots of stinky cheese to go with their whining...err...umm...wine.

Always look forward to your updates, Tom. Thanks.
