Space Shuttle Atlantis

I know that many people don’t get too excited over the Space Shuttle launch anymore, but I fondly remember being a kid and what a big deal it was to get the TV rolled into the classroom and watch the launch L-I-V-E.

So today I noticed that they were going to show the launch of Atlantis live and so I put it on for Nadia and I. She was asking questions and she was really into it. I knew the rocket boosters would be coming off soon, but I didn’t say anything. Then when they flew off she said,

“That was awesome!”
