It does not get much better than this!

Its been a while since I posted an entry, but so much has happened in that time.   So its about time I gave you all an update!

Robbi now works for NASA!  Yes, the mothership called and now Robbi is working with the Constellation and Orion teams working on the next mission to the Moon scheduled for flight testing in 2014 and a first manned mission in 2020!  How cool is that!?

To say i am a little jealous is an understatement, but unfortunatley you have to be an American Citizen to work for a Governement Agency and I wont have that title until my three years on a VISA are completed.  But then, oh trust me, I will do everything in my power to get myself on that workforce!  A dream come true?  You bet!

Anyway, just because its Robbi who has the job at NASA does not mean I cannot reap the benefits!  I have already been showered with STS-115 patches and flags and today I got to enter Johnson Space Center in the Employee Only sections to watch the launch of STS-115!  Yes, I entered the Johnson Space Center with my wife and watched the launch on the BIG SCREEN in the Teague Auditorium!  The atmosphere was special, as you would expect when you have the people that make it all possible sat watching the fruits of their efforts!

NASA is such a family orientated organisation, and for every launch they make sure that they encourage you to bring your families to watch and be part of the experience.
