Though only 80 miles away I felt like I could touch it, and the beauty and excitement lives with me still, a big full moon on the right endeavor to the left vying for my attention marvelous

It’s little sister Trish here….just in from “Cloud Nine”….and that’s putting it mildly considering I’m still on it! Viewing this launch was so unbelievable that putting it into words is difficult. We had a perfect moonlit night….as close as humanly possibly and allowable by NASA and overlooking the water….hearts pounding, the clock ticking and then a sight like no other you’ve ever seen before. And to think that man and science created all of this? How awesome is that? The noise was there too but I imagined it would be louder but maybe the breeze carried some of it away. Now Danny and Jackie will fly back on Thanksgiving to witness the landing with their parents and a few select others. Then we’ll all really feel at totally at ease again. xo

What an exciting career! I’ve never known an astronaut in person…very cool that you do, but I imagine it is hard not to worry as well as being excited. He certainly is a handsome fellow too! I would be terrified to go up but I think the view in space from those shuttles even through the TV screen is one of the most beautiful things ever.

How wonderful for you to be so close to something so exciting. Darn good looking too—I assume he is married? Ain’t the Internet grand in how it links all of us…rural and city?

And we’re not going to feel fully grounded until Steve and the rest are back on earth.

Good entry Colleen. I’m still on cloud nine about the entire adventure! I can’t imagine what it felt like to actually be there.
And lucky Matt and Pat. Because of their uncle they have enjoyed a life changing event.
I love it!
I’m feeling proud.

Gosh, that is really amazing! To be that closely related to a real astronaut is something. How great that you were able to see it on youtube!
