It's no secret that I want to be an astronaut when I grow up. Well, while that dream may never come true, by grace or coincidence I've been granted some friends with "NASA connections" who know of my obsession and recently forwarded me these photos of the September shuttle launch taken from none other than the International Space Station. Heh, God is so good. A big hat tip and thanks to my "Right Stuff crew." You are so cool!
