Success!!

Well, just after lunch today, I had a crowd of people around me to watch the shuttle Atlantis launch at 12:45 pm today. I always find launches fascinating. I don't know--maybe it's the impressive power in that machine. I'm such a guy. But then again, there's something that everyone enjoys. In fact, I was proud when I saw that Eliza was also getting quite excited for the launch. I guess I'm rubbing off on her. ;) It wasn't too surprising, in the last 2 minutes before launch, I found a crowd of people watching the computer as the clock went down.

So, I wonder what it is about launches that makes it so wonderful to watch. Is it really the extreme power in those boosters? Or is it the thought of flying? Don't know. In any case, it's interesting to watch.

So I guess that I'll just have to go and fix my rocket and go launch it again! But why did I have to paint it silver and blue so it blends perfectly with the sky???.........

Because deep within your sub-conscious, you really wanted to lose the rocket . . .
Haven't figured that one out yet. Next time we launch rockets, I want to make one. Let's just not do it when it's like, 20 degrees outside.
