STS-119

I wish I could have watched this launch... I always seem to miss them.

How far away are you?

I'm about 20 minutes west of the coast, small town called Chuluota - north of the Bithlo/Christmas area on SR 50.

No kidding. I had the chance to once while in Florida on a show-choir trip in high school, but there was a vote after everyone was getting tired of being at the beach and we came back early so I missed it.

That's funny, I saw Columbia launch while on a band trip in Florida. We had two free days, one at Disney and the other at the beach. I tried to get the day at the beach to coincide with the launch, but no luck. Though, it was still impressive from Epcot.

If only she had a hab module and a CRV... *sigh*

A shame ISS will never actually LOOK like it was supposed to. We've got only a few modules left to ship up, plus a bunch of greeblies, and we're done for the next five years at least.

When we're done we're done. We won't be able to add anything after the fact.

But it would be sooo nice with an extension - or two; one as a guest room and one for the kids. Oh, and a big garage…

The CAM module would have been nice too, as would have been the Russian Enterprise module.

Guess the kilowatts that would have run those will be diverted to the macerator on the toilets now.

And the money shot...
