Universe Today provides an awesome collection of pictures from the Space Shuttle Endeavor’s STS 127 mission. I take special interest in this mission since I was fortunate enough to view the launch at Mission Control in Houston. Full collection here.
The 6th attempt was the charm for Endeavor. Thanks to the father of one of my students, I was invited to watch the launch from NASA’s Johnson Space Center Mission Control in Houston! For a space fan like me, this was the opportunity of a lifetime!
I recently read an article from universetoday.com that talks about a group that is spearheading a movement to declare July 20th Space Exploration Day and July 16th - 24th as the U.S. Space Observance in honor of Apollo 11’s mission to the moon and back. What do you think? You can add your name to their petition by going to www.spaceexplorationday.us. The primary supporter of this movement is the Utah Space Association.
