Yesterday at work some of us watched live streaming video of the newest moon mission flight from NASA. I have to admin, it was pretty damn cool. My co-worker sent out the link so we could watch Spaceflight Now's site and at first I thought "neat" but didn't think I'd be sitting there switching between my work project and the live video feed, fully engrossed, for half the afternoon! It reminded me of being a kid being so excited to watch space shuttle missions on the one grainy TV that we had in our classroom.
So I did know about the newest mission, but honestly I don't think I paid enough attention to it before yesterday. I *do* remember Colbert's campaign to have Node 3 named in his honor (see my archived post). But really, it was the most entertaining thing I've watched on my computer (or TV) in a long, long time! Bookmark the Spaceflight Now site and take a peek next time - great fun!
