Buzz versus Buzz

Watched Discovery lift off, yesterday -- we had a good sight of her from Tampa despite clouds on the horizon. It was amusing, knowing that a Buzz Lightyear toy was atop that column of flame speeding thousands of miles per hour into orbit.

To prepare for the difficult journey, Buzz had to be trained by...Buzz.




I'm also really pleased to see the Mars Phoenix Lander has a Twitter page.

Hey, your the second person i know who saw it with their own eyes. I have a Seattle friend who was in Orlando (at a conference) He drove to the Titusvile to see it? And then got stuck in traffic forever trying to get back to Orlando.

Yeah, traffic tends to be pretty horrific at launches. They're incredible to see up close, but they're over with very quickly and the crowds can be thick.
