Voltron Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I watched the Space Shuttle take off to New York at the airport. Kind of amazing that they can fly piggyback like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grahame Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I was lucky enough to see a launch. Holiday to Orlando for the obvious reasons from the UK, Shuttle launch kept getting delayed due to weather / technical issues , which saw us driving from one coast of Florida to the other to see stuff and catch the actual launch. Finally with the launch a "go" we drove across Florida, listening to the countdown on the radio, finally found a vantage point in the form of an upper deck in a bar, where other locals had gathered. We were about 5 miles from the launch tower. I'll never forget seeing the Shuttle rise on a pillar of flame, brighter than the sun, in an eerie silence, and then the sound hit, and kept on coming. Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've driven over for a launch 5 times and they all got canceled. Never did see one from Cape Canaveral. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archosman Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Drove home to Oklahoma to say goodbye to my Dad. He's in a hospice dying of stomach cancer and has no time left. He's still conscious and in no pain, but having pretty labored breathing while talking. Never drank or smoked in his life. Fucking stomach cancer...

Augsburger Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Found out that Duke University is giving my daughter scholarships that will cover a little over 50% of her total school costs (tuition, room, board, books, etc). This is wonderful news, since Duke will only cost us slightly more than if she had gone to a Colorado state college like CU Boulder or CSU. Travel expenses will still cost a lot more, but she won't need a car at school and the savings on lower car insurance will pay for round trip plane tickets to return for thanksgiving, christmas, spring break, and summer break. Congrats Larry, well done! Congrats for your daughter and wife as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
