STS-117 and the bird called Atlantis

I have 創et. I have 創et.

I have been without landline telephone and internet at my home going almost on 3 weeks. It痴 back now. I am glad. Do you remember me?

Space Shuttle Atlantis launched this evening.

It was a spectacular launch as usual. As with each launch, one of the greatest of human achievements and adventure, I get nervous. As I watched the bird take flight, a gleam arose I in my eye. Up, up into the heavens she flew, Atlantis, on a construction journey to the International Space Station Alpha. I cannot wait for EVA. Those spacewalks am exciting.
