Default Got an Access Placard!

I barely made it - but we're going to Kennedy to see the launch of the shuttle next Friday 5/14. I got pass #421 out of 430 passes (via a lottery). So we'll see the launch from as close as you can get. STS-132, orbiter Atlantis. Last flight for this bird.

Only 3 missions left. This one, STS-133 in September, and STS-134 in November. I'm one of the mission managers for 133 so I gotta be in Houston and 134 will be impossible to get into because it's the last.

The pass says no more than 7 people per car. Well, me and my wife and our good friends in Florida John and Barbara so far...

I scanned the pass in - too big to post here and I'm lazy and haven't re-sized it but it's on my facebook thing.

Oh yeah - one of the rules is "no alcohol". I'm purging the window cleaner tank and lines in the car now so the Chardonnay will flow! With a press of a button!

Default A Blond Space Funny!!!

A Russian, an American, and a Blonde were talking one day. The Russian said, 'We were the first in space!'

The American said, 'We were the first on the moon!'

The Blonde said, 'So what? We're going to be the first on the sun!' The Russian and the American looked at each other and shook their heads.

'You can't land on the sun, you idiot! You'll burn up!' said the Russian.

To which the Blonde replied, 'We're not stupid, you know. We're going at night!'

That was one of the prettiest launches that I've seen. (wish I could have been there in person!)

So cool!

I was one of those kids who wanted to be an astronaut when I was little. Every time I've seen a shuttle launch, my inner geek gets all excited and wishes that I could have been an astronaut.
