i've been following astro_mike on twitter. he doesn't update much but when he does it's soooooo cool to think he's updating from space. and leading up to the launch you could sense that he was really looking forward to it and it was fun to see that human element.
i'm a die-hard nasa buff. i once skipped out on the chance to interview for a job at nickelodeon because it was my only opportunity to go to cape canaveral and tour the kennedy space center. it was worth it, nickelodeon would have never panned out. i've also done johnson space center in houston and marshall space center in alabama. and i have quite a little collection of mission patches.
and someday i will totally send my kids to spacecamp.
