The whole family tuned in for this morning’s launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis.
We watched NASA TV on CSPAN. Sure it’s nice to get the bios and the commentary from CNN and MSNBC…but watching the launch preps and listening to Mission Control, without media extras, made it a more satisfying experience.
I suppose three-times a charm, when it comes to blast-off. As always, there’s something amazing, beautiful and hopeful when I watch these events. Hope for humankind, anticipation for the future, and a warm, fuzzy feeling in my tummy. Honestly, Daisy was sleeping on the couch. She’s probably tuckered out from the other day at day care. In any event, it was nice to watch the countdown as a family.
Daisy gives the crew a high-5! Best of luck to them.
