Superb! Stupendous, even!! Love the view of Israel/Sinai, the reflection of what looked to be India in the face shield of one astronaut, the swirling clouds over the Cape Verde Islands .... all of it. Thanks for sharing that.

Just this morning on the way to preschool (her last day -- sniff -- graduation was last week), my daughter said, "Daddy, I would like to go to the moon. I would really like to be an astronaut." We discussed the moon rocks at the Alabama Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, and now -- with all that curiosity -- we'll be taking a trip very soon. I can't wait. I love that place. There's a guy who goes to church with my wife's sister who is an actual astronaut in training. We'll also be talking with him to tell her what learning to be an astronaut is like.

I would love to be the first preacher in space....

I narrated AE material for NASA when I was 16 at the Tullahoma Wind Tunnel...as it was called in those days..

I did some radio shows about it all.....before Shepard went up....

My dreams came to an end when I was not able to go to Air Force Academy...
