Well folks I am going to Coco Beach for mission STS-120. My cousin COL. Pam Melroy is schedule to go up Oct 23rd at 0730 on the Discovery. She is the second woman Commander ever to command a shuttle mission. I am SO PROUD of her. I just got the final tickets needed to get into the launch area. Wish them luck !!!!    

Thats sounds soo exciting!!!! Maybe you could become a stow away on the space shuttle

I definitely will be paying attention to this flight...

Way cool man.  I will be watching.  I always try to catch the launches.  It has got to be awesome in person.

As a side note.  My brother works on the liquid oxygen pumps on the shuttles engines. He has some neat stories about crawling around inside those things.

No way!!   Is he scheduled to help with this flight?? That would be really neat to work down there.I would like to see Texas too.

I will post any pics sent to our family from space.I have a few from the other two missions she was the pilot on.

He works on all of them.  He enjoys it but his time may be running out as they phase out these orbitors.  It all depends on who gets the contract when they phase in the next generation shuttles.  Time will tell.
