It makes me kind of sad to think there will be no more manned space missions. When I was a kid (I'm in my 40s now), being an astronaut was one of those professions all adventurous boys and girls wanted to be. No more. <<sigh>>

When I ran outside to see it the first time, I saw a couple of people walking about a block away and they WEREN'T LOOKING UP. Argh!


Oh good! Which Arl Elem? I am hoping my son got to see it.


I am not the PP, but my son's at Glebe and they were outside to see it. My DH was there volunteering at that time. It flew over 2 times.


Great! Our prinicpal at Science Focus just sent an email that all kids were outside and got to see historic moment. She included a photo. I am so glad because at least one of my kids is old enough to remember it.

I thought that could be what I heard! Must have been it, wish I could have seen it.
