WE HAVE LIFTOFF!!

After 2 1/2 years, the Space program is back in business:) The Discovery Space Shuttle lifted off this morning without a flaw! Watched it on tv and cried tears of joy (you'd understand if you knew me..I cry when somebody wins on Family Feud, LOL!). I am one happy camper!

If you're interested in seeing the Space Station and the Space Shuttle up in the sky, check out this neat site.

It has "See the Space Station (and the shuttle when it's docked with the station) From Your Own Backyard" times and dates. If you've never seen it up in the sky, you're missing out...it's one of the neatest things I've ever seen. We usually check the Space Station out every chance we get. If you look the right direction and at the right time, you can't miss it...it's like a big bright meteor floating across the sky. Check it out!

UP, UP, AND AWAY!!!!!

Gee, I'm disappointed in the project because we seem to send things into space and always have to repair it once we get there. I wonder why? Anyway, I'm sure it was exciting in the beginning. Too bad it was cloudy this morning and we missed seeing the shuttle go by. I would have loved to have woke Micah up to sit outside and watch it, but I got up and it was cloudy. Of course rain right now is pretty exciting with all the cracks in the ground and the lakes and ponds being so low they are disappearing quickly.

Love,

MOM
