Shuttle Ride

Ever wish you could ride a rocket into space?

NASA give you the opportunity. Check out this video from the latest shuttle launch. It's a camera attached to the upper portion of one of the solid rocket boosters. It's worth watching through the first three minutes, which includes the launch and separation. Then...skip up to around minute 7 and catch the spashdown at 7:30.

Fascinating stuff.

The online comic, Least I Could Do, is running a story at the moment about the main character and his niece at Space Camp.

It seemed topic-relevant to my schizotypal mind, and I thought you'd enjoy....
