Running low...

Good morning to everyone. It has been an emotional rollercoaster here of delay, going, no going, delay, going, no going, delay... I think NASA has changed my airline ticket 4 times now. Besides that-great trip! I actually got to see Discovery. I mean this is the shuttle that took up Hubble, is taking the first robot up, and is the oldest. Wow-I got to see it! Saying that ... I am TIRED! I will be at school tomorrow physically but man will I be exhausted. I think I will sleep a lot on the plane. I really think the shuttle will be going up in December but maybe the weather will let her fly high tomorrow. I have seen thousands of people camped along the edge of the water ways to see Discovery so I know I am not alone : ) Science nerds united!

Happiness & Sadness

So as I am watching a pod of dolphins in the Indian River with the large NASA buildings in the background ... the cell phone rings. Discovery will not be flying tomorrow. Sadness fills the car - all of us are bumbed ... but very happy to have been able to see the shuttle on the launch pad. I have had an amazing chance to be here ... but still have a little sadness. I did get a chance to talk with the mother of the commander today-Mrs. Lyndsey. A very nice lady with a good chuckle at her son's 5th planned trip to space. Anyways ... great stories have been had but still some sadness that I won't get to see the shuttle launch ... but a great experience-thank you NASA.

I'm in Florida!

OMG ... I cannot believe the amount of history I have seen over the last few days at Kennedy Space Center. Wow is about all I can say. I have the hardest conflict in my brain-the center is in the middle of a wildlife refuge. What do I take pictures of ... the shuttle sitting on 39A's pad or the alligator to my right. Ahhhhhhhhh...I like having this issue. So far I have walked under the most amazing machines known to man-a Saturn V rocket, the shuttle, and Gemini rockets. I am in complete awww here. Hope the week is going well back in Cali. Love Ms. H.
