I traveled down to Cape Canaveral , Florida to view one of the final shuttle launches before the program is closed down. I was very excited to go as I had never seen a rocket launch myself – but the trip took on a special meaning to be able to contribute to Stacey’s list. The launch took place on a beautiful afternoon and the sky lit up from the exhaust flames. We also had an opportunity to tour the adjacent Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and speak with various military personnel in charge of satellites and rocket booster assembly. It could not have been a more interesting trip and one I thought Stacey would have enjoyed very much.
