My crew finally made it up! STS-134/ULF6 launched this morning, with her crew in tow. Aboard the last mission for Endeavor... She's a special bird, having replaced Challenger after her own demise. All of this reminds of being a little girl, memorizing Shuttle dimensions and random facts in hopes that I would one day be...

My crew, with Mark Kelly (Front, Right) who is commander and dealt with the incomprehensible and salacious act of heinous anger when his wife, Representative Gabby Giffords, and other civilians were attacked in Tuscon. Behind him is Mike Fincke, who married an Indian girl from Assam. We happened to be married by the same Gujarati priest!
My team just as they were about 75% of the way done with training.
