Atlantis


Beth and I had the chance to go up to Titusville to watch the launch of space shuttle Atlantis last Friday. Some friends of ours live about nine miles west of the launch pad, just across the Indian River so we had an amazing view and it literally shook the building we were in!

I can only imagine the feeling that astronauts have the first time they see Earth outside of a window. I would love to know what that feels like! Travelling at about 5 miles per second a few hundred miles above sea level would be another rush I'd like to experience!

Think NASA's hiring?
