spaced out

one of the highlights of my recent contract was the trip to NASA. i had always wanted to be a spaceman. so this trip was very special. it was really wonderful and informative. i took a tram ride around the campus. we went to the actual mission control centre that launched the appollo space crafts. we also saw the training area which had a mock up of the international space station. did you know that the ISS is continuously moving at around 5 miles/sec. it circles the earth 16 times a day. people on the space station get to see 16 sunrises and sunsets. awesome. romantic ? i should think so. somebody pleaseeee sponsor my trip to outer space.

you are much braver than me! there is no way I am going to outer space.

Unfortunately I don't have any money to sponser you either, but do let me know when you get back to Earth :P
