I'm so glad I was able to share this experience with my brother. It made it all that more special.

We Have Lift Off!

Scrubbed!
So far the launch has been scrubbed three times already for technical issues. They have been really good about letting us know in advance except for the first attempt. It's almost a three hour drive to get there so I appreciate the advanced notice.
It's scheduled for this Saturday but I hope they scrub the flight again because I'm Shark Diving on Saturday and won't be able to make it.
This launch is the first launch in 60 years to send astronauts up to the Space Station and I really want to be a part of it.
