Fly Baby Fly

Nov 14, 2008 Cool Links, Geek, In The News, Spaceflight, Videos

After watching the Space Shuttle Endeavour take off tonight for the International Space Station on STS-126, I’ve been bombing around Wikipedia and YouTube reading and watching about the Space Shuttle. It’s a shame it’ll be retiring in a few years… I’d have loved to be in Florida to see a launch in person some day.

Watching the YouTube videos reminds me of one my friend Dave posted a couple years ago. As he put it, the first 30 seconds give you goosebumps:

I’m gonna miss these things.

Have you ever been fascinated by the space program?

    I would have much preferred to see a Saturn V.
  • I admit, those are cool, too... but I've grown up watching the shuttle, it's the one I know best. :)
  • totally. well i'm a dyed in the wool space nerd as my dad has been ever since he was a kid. this is my favourite shuttle vid; definitely goosebump-tastic = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dxl2qXPPms
