Emily,
That’s a better pic; I probably should’ve lifted that one instead.

(Just for the record for anyone reading, my husband doesn’t work for NASA or have anything to do with the space shuttle. We don’t even get to go free to KSC. The shuttle boys are a different breed.)

Very cool!

I was quickly scanning the comments and read KSC as “KFC” at first. I thought “rocket scientists get to eat at KFC for free?”
Anyway, very cool to know your dh took part in something so awesome!

What a cool rocket!!! I bet your children really look up to their Dad! Love your blog. Hope you’re feeling a bit better soon

Simply awesome! I caught the launch on Fox News before work and told my wife, “a blog I read regularly is written by a woman whose husband helped build that rocket.”
She was quite impressed. I’m not sure if it was because of your good job “catching” a hubby, or she was just surprised I could actually attempt to engage in intelligent conversation with someone married to a rocket scientist.
Self-deprecating humor…..my favorite.

I always thought the caption…”wife to a handsome rocket scientist” was just playful banter. I didn’t know he really WAS a rocket scientist.
That’s pretty cool. Has he ever recommended TANG for your morning sickness?

Hi Nancy–I remember you.
Thanks for stopping in!
Rob, Actually he designs the software that launches the rocket, but it’s OK if you think he builds it. (I think they build the rockets in Colorado…)
Tim, I grew up on Tang but won’t go near the stuff now.

Hey–if he can do that on a diet of twinkies, just THINK what he’d accomplish on *real* food!

“hyukhyuksnickerSNORTguffaw” - the sound of someone actually trying to swallow tofu.
What, twinkies are not real food?
