WHAT IF other planetary bodies orbited our world at the same distance as the moon?

It was obviously his first launch.

Right around the 2 minute mark gave me chills.... Everyone stopped talking and just listened. I imagine the only thing going through their minds at that point was HOLY $h*&.

I'll be sure to pass your name to NASA officials for the next astronaut class.

I recently got to view Space Shuttle Atlantis' introduction videos and wow.. That's all I can say. If you're thinking about coming to Kennedy Space Center to see Atlantis, I say book your flight already, because you won't regret it. Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex nailed this one.

Here are some pictures from yesterdays employee viewing of the exhibit.
