Shuttle lift-off is a powerful moment
May 15, 2010
Posted by: Carol Caruso
Well, it’s 9:00 p.m. and this is the first moment since the 2:20 launch that I’ve been able to get to a computer to tell you how fabulous the day has been. Just amazing. The launch went off on time and perfectly. Very difficult to describe the moment. First it’s the sound of the engines and the sudden sense of pure power in the air. A few seconds later, the shuttle lifts off, almost as if in slow motion. And then the most amazing trail of fire and smoke and before you know it, the shuttle is barely visible but on its way into space. On its way to the Space Station.. It is truly a patriotic and emotional moment. Wish you could have been here. To think that there are only two shuttle left is surreal. I worry that the absence will leave a generation of young people without the inspiration created by the space program. It will continue, of course, but it will be a long while before we can see something as powerful and inspiring as a shuttle launch. Kids are often inspired by dinosaurs and space. And we’re out of dinosaurs. . . .

It’s been an amazing day. I’ll post photos (taken by my daughter, not me) tomorrow.

Cloudless sky favors space shuttle launch
May 14, 2010
Posted by: Carol Caruso
It’s very early in the morning, but I couldn’t wait to get up and check out the weather. If anything can delay a launch, as we know, it’s Mother Nature. But there’s not a cloud in the sky – looks like perfect weather to go to the Space Station. At a usual launch, there are about 150,000 folks who come to watch. They pack into Kennedy Space Center, hang out at local parks, and even park along the highway. Today, there will be more than 300,000 visitors because it is Atlantis’ last flight. So glad we will be in the bleachers at Banana Creek – thank you, NASA Glenn! I’ve heard that several celebs are here, including David Letterman and a few government officials from Russia – no doubt they are checking things out for their future passengers! There seems to be a bittersweet atmosphere, unlike other launches. The Shuttle has been so much a part of the fabric of this community – most of the local folks are feeling a bit forlorn. We’re going to be leaving very early to try to get ahead of the crowds. I’ll catch up later.

Countdown to launch of space shuttle Atlantis
May 13, 2010
Posted by: Carol Caruso
In fewer than 24 hours, NASA will launch the space shuttle Atlantis from Kennedy Space Center in Florida and I will be there…such an exciting event under any circumstance, but this launch is especially important because Cleveland astronaut Mike Good will be on board. With only three more launches remaining (including this one), the interest in the future of our space program is growing. Crowds are expected to increase with each launch, so I feel very lucky to be included in this one. I’ll be joining Rick Batyko from the Cleveland Plus Marketing Alliance, and we’ve been able to snag tickets to the viewing area in Banana Creek. It’s a spectacular view.
