Come on, Thomas… Let’s Go
I’m trying to talk my pal Thomas Whitley into heading down to Florida to see the launch of STS 125 on Tuesday May 12, 2009. The shuttle program is rapidly coming to a close, but this one is especially important since we are performing the final servicing to the greatest science experiment of all time:
NASA – STS-125: The Final Visit: “It’s a mission to once more push the boundaries of how deep in space and far back in time humanity can see. It’s a flight to again upgrade what already may be the most significant satellite ever launched.
And, for the space shuttle, it’s a final visit to a dear, old friend.
The STS-125 mission will return the space shuttle to the Hubble Space Telescope for one last visit before the shuttle fleet retires in 2010. Over 11 days and five spacewalks, the shuttle Atlantis’ crew will make repairs and upgrades to the telescope, leaving it better than ever and ready for another five years – or more – of research. “
To quote Jerry Maguire, “Who’s coming with me?” Road trip??
Pick me up in Charlotte?
Serious? Come on down! Thomas lives near Charlotte, so we could def pick you up from the airport on the way down.
I would totally do this, though the timing's bad as I'm out of town the week or two prior. Let me know the schedule as you work it out.
