Space and the Stars Week

Our theme this week is Space and the Stars.  Coincidentally, this is the week the Space Shuttle is attempting to launch, hoping for good weather soon.  The mission was scrubbed yesterday due to thunderstorms in the area.

My husband, a former Air Force pilot, tries to watch all these launches.  Due to the great online covereage, he’s able to keep up to date. 

If any of your family wants to watch the launch or keep up to date when it gets into space, use a search engine search and find any number of web sites and blogs about the events.

If you live on the east coast of Florida, you may even see the launch.  We watched the first night launch years ago and found this spectacular.  It’s an experience you’ll never forget.
