An era comes dramatically to a close. Where have all the brave humans gone?
Moseley street - home for lunch one day in 4th grade probably - the Space Shuttle Enterprise is completing a test flight!! I am just totally awestruck - we are the most kick ass country in the world!!!
a la wikipedia:
a few years later, Trinity ave, I'm prepared to spend the entire night waiting for the 1st launch f the space shuttle - but accidentally sleep through it - missing it by minutes!! ;-(
Beth emails this morning - 'where can I find pictures of the shuttle?' - Boo comes in and says she's sad she missed it. I recall trying to make the plans work for a dc trip to include Legos at the Building Museum, and the Shuttle flying in. Oh well...
To all those who made the shuttle a reality - thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Now, where shall we go next?
ciao,
