Amazing launch!
Viewing a shuttle launch live is incredible. There is no real way to describe the emotion and power you feel as the shuttle climbs upward. The immense light and the thunderous noise vibrating everything. Just amazing! Wow! What a beautiful sight!

Astronauts Enter Quarantine for Final Space Shuttle Launch
http://www.space.com/12157-final-space-shuttle-astronauts-quarantine-launch.html
"After months of intense training, the astronauts set to fly on NASA's final space shuttle flight are raring to go, so it's no surprise they are taking steps to avoid catching a last-minute cold.
The four Atlantis shuttle astronauts entered a standard preflight quarantine on Friday (July 1) to prevent illness and limit exposure to any harmful germs. Atlantis is scheduled to launch on July 8 at 11:26 a.m. EDT (1526 GMT) from the seaside Launch Pad 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Fla."

Teachers in the Underwater Astronaut Trainer (UAT)
My first time SCUBA diving was in the UAT at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center. This tank was designed and built by Homer Hickam, author of Rocket Boys/October Sky.
Just keeps getting better and better!
Tweeps,
SpaceX has asked me to pass along on invitation to you to see the Dragon capsule. SpaceX invites you to come see the Dragon Spacecraft that orbited Earth and hear about SpaceX's plans to carry astronauts from former astronaut & SpaceX Commercial Crew Development manager Garret Reisman.
Location: Air Force Space and Missile History Center, behind the SpaceX Launch Control Center, just outside of the Air Force South gate.
Cheers,
Stephanie
How Atlantis' top tweeter got that way
"All four of the astronauts on NASA's final space shuttle missionhave Twitter accounts, but which one is Atlantis' "alpha tweeter"? That was one of the easiest questions to answer at Thursday's crew news conference at Johnson Space Center in Houston."
