WOW!!!
That's all I thought when I watched Shuttle Discovery go into orbit for the first time in history on July 4th! My twin brother works for a contracting company that works with NASA.
He's a rocket scientist. Yes --there is such a thing. I just thought people made it up when they asked, " what do you think, you're a rocket scientist or something?"
Now I can actually say, No, but my twin bro is! Adam is very very very ...super duper smart, but just by running into him, you'd never guess he's a genius. Sometimes I think he stole ALL of the good genes.
Anyway, the launch was exciting for me because as I watched it on tv, I was able to text Adam....so I felt like I was there, in Houston. He did admit that his team was sweating, until the shuttle was "safe in orbit"
....it was really cool to be able to have an "insider" there, but of course many things he works on are highly classified...don't want him getting de-briefed by the pentagon on my account.
Well that's all for now! as always I leave whoever reads this with a famous quote:
" No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." --Eleanor Roosevelt.
