"Standby for the greatest show on earth."
.........................................................................Commander Mark Kelly
Those were the words spoken by Mark just before blasting off yesterday.
Watching the shuttle rocket into the heavens was a better show than I could have imagined. Tears were streaming out of both eyes as they headed for orbit. And they get there fast, just 8 and a half minutes! They're called rockets for a reason.
My weekend in Florida at Cape Canaveral with Kim, Inge, Reed, and the Kelly support crew (friends and family), was wonderful.
Thanks Mark and Godspeed to you and your crew up there.
