We plan to attend the launch (either one) in May...*fingers crossed*
It's a lifelong dream of mine, right under going to see Lemurs in Madagascar. Yes, we're old enough to be checking stuff off the list now.
I remember watching the moon landing vividly...and I don't get the "space shuttle is boring" mentality. OMG! How is this possible? Have you no sense of wonder? I marvel at it constantly...watch NASA channel all the time. That we can send actual humans into that vast wilderness never ceases to reduce me to tears of joy every time. What a glorious thing it is to be alive while these things happen.
