    03/11/2008 Shuttle Endeavour

    I had the opportunity to view a Space Shuttle launch 3 years ago today.
    I had paid for the experience which included breakfast with an astronaut and prime viewing on the NASA causeway. Definitely something I will not forget.

    It's hard to take chances but sometimes it's better if you do

    It definitely must have been an awesome sight. I had tickets for a shuttle launch about 2 years but never got to witness it since the launch got scrubbed and got delayed for a few weeks.

    This was actually my third attempt to view a launch, both in 06 and 07 I had bought tickets but the launches had been delayed.

    We'll be going to the 4/19 launch - hoping that it stays on track - can't wait to see this...
