    Are they actually going to go to space, or are they just going to CGI most of it? You know, like the Olympics.

    When I was a child I always wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up. I was more influenced by Star Trek than the first Moon landing. I also assumed that by now, going to the Moon would be no more exotic or problematic than travelling to Australia. Space 1999 and 2001, A Space Odyssey have a lot to answer for.

    @Rare Affinity: I used to want to be an astronaut too. I gave up the dream when I realized that my vision kinda sucks.

    And I agree. Aren't we all supposed to have freaky space babies by now?

    When in space, does one need to use one scrunchie, or two? And the ice, what does one do with the ice?

    @the.human.sparkler: Oh man, I grew up in Orlando and it was still kind of a big deal. People would drive out towards the cape to see the shuttle, or other rockets, take off. It's actually pretty cool to see. When there were night launches, we could see them from my house - it looked like a giant candle shooting up!

    Maybe I'm too much of a fraidy cat, but it seems like NASA missions have been... failing a lot lately. I hope this woman is safe. :/

    @jgh: You might be thinking about the last bit of news from NASA, which was that the Mars probe had finally run its course. I can't think of any mission failures since the Columbia crashed in 2003; the next shuttle mission, scheduled for later tonight, will bring two new sleeping quarters, a bathroom, and a kitchenette up to the International Space Station. Having said all that, Godspeed to our explorers. :-)
