Did you guys hear about the space shuttle that got launched today? Probably you did but didn't pay much attention because, like, space is kind of played out. Remember how galaxy photos were the coolest thing in the world for like five months? And then it made it's way to, like, Urban Outfitters or whatever, and then it was over. But that isn't the point of this, nor is the fact that if we put some of that NASA money into fuckin' Africa we could actually make real changes on earth. The point is that I'm in Florida. And Florida is where space shuttles come from. And it was so exciting!
Everyone started getting super psyched about 10 minuted to launch. We were watching it on TV. And then they started the countdown! And then we saw these sparks ignite the fuel! And then everyone booked it outside because WE COULD SEE IT IN THE SKY! We're in Florida! We're right by it! I think it's in Tampa or something!
It was like seeing a comet, except, uh, in the opposite direction. And with a huge trail of smoke that didn't go away for hours. And can you see a comet in the daytime? I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen a comet. But I've seen a rocket! And that's even kind of cooler because there's PEOPLE in it! Awesome! Totally Awesome! I bet comets are awesome, too! And shooting stars! And hot air balloons!
Goooo team things-in-the-sky! Let's stay up all night and watch meteors this summer!
