Re: last space shuttle launch in NOV

hey thanks for the tips guys! I am a strong supporter of aviation, after all I am a pilot. And seeing the shuttle lift off is one thing that I REUFSE to miss. if I have to go to the hospital I will just die instead, because life is not about how long you live, it's about how you live it!
