Totally Cool!

And sad, too.

NASA: Weather 80 percent go for Endeavour's final launch Friday at 3:47 p.m.

Sheila .... Bet all the hotels are PACKED!

Yep.
The whole county is really filling up!

Having been only a short distance away from the final launch of theChallenger, a chill goes down my spine every time I hear about a launch.

What these brave people do is very dangerous and that should never be ignored or forgotten.

Never.
