Launch Day

So, let's try this all over again!  It kinda felt like Ground Hog day....alarm was set for 2:30am.  But this time Marcus & I both slept great.  :)  We got to the Causeway at 4:00am, had a little breakfast and then had to wait until 7:05.  And exactly at 7:05 it launched!!  It was so exhilarating!  To be with thousands of people and to hear the countdown and "GO" from all the systems...truly pumps you up.

After the launch, we headed back to the hotel to watch the splash down via live feed from NASA.  Yes, we were pumped for the launch, the the re-entry was what Marcus and his company was concerned about!  To be in the room with all the fellow engineers - to feel the excitement...so cool!  The re-entry and landing into the Pacific Ocean went flawlessly.  It was a bulls eye landing into the ocean.  :)  Job well done, Marcus!  :)
