CmdrTaco at Kennedy Space Center

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wish-you-were-here dept.

Matthew Travis from the Ares Institute Inc helped me get a press pass for the STS-135 Launch. so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping for no scrub. I'm tweeting as @cmdrtaco from the launch if you are into that sort of thing. I'll have more later, but for now you'll have to make do with a photo I took, as well as a brief video clip I took of Atlantis on the pad at night.

    DO listen to Rush's Signals the hour before the launch.
    DON'T run up and down the causeway yelling "LITE 'ER UP!"

    Where does this "cmdrtaco" guy get off posting this type of story? You'd think this site was his personal blog or something.

    Lost in Space: Doctor Zachary Smith, an agent for an enemy government, is sent to sabotage the mission. He is successful in reprogramming the ship's robot, but in the process becomes trapped on the ship, and because of his excess weight, the ship and all on board become hopelessly lost and it now becomes a fight for survival as the crew tries to find their way back home.
