Well, it's my last day in the states. What do I do? Party at NASA.Nah not really. I did pull up in the parking lot sipping a beer with my aunt, but left it in the car when I went into the Space Center. My aunt and uncle both work with NASA. My uncle is a flight controller and my aunt keeps an eye on the astronaut's families while they're in space. Tonight was a celebration for the crew of STS-124. Ever since the Columbia tragedy in 2003 NASA has held this event to welcome astronauts home and celebrate their safe landing.
It was great to see these brave and exceptionally talented people, and they entertained all of us with stories of pranks they'd played on each other in space. One astronaut had smuggled in a fake rat and constantly hid it in places where female members of the crew would unexpectedly find it. You couldn't help but laugh watching their 'home videos' from the flight. They're a bunch of kids, ridiculously intelligent kids.
