I head out to Cape Canaveral this evening for the STS-118 launch…. Will bring cameras….

Barbara Morgan has waited 22 years for this launch as part of the Teacher-in-Space program. Mission specialist Tracy Caldwell is also making her first spaceflight on STS-118 (http://www.space.com/missionlaunches/070803_sts118_morgan.html)

This photo shows one of our payload mascots getting some fresh air in the Black Rock Desert before her flight.

The little Story behind the picture :
So i stoped by, to a toyshop this afternoon. I found this scale model of a Nasa shuttle : ) It was perfect for playing to the swimming pool : ) Children looked amazed to see us playing and taking pictures underwater with it. Some parents looked at us like..well you can imagine.. other seems to had fun looking at us and the LifeGuard…well…i think he liked the idea because he turned on the light underwater : )

It was a lot of fun : )
