Quick heads up on some things to look for in the next week. I will be traveling to Kennedy Space Center on Saturday with Aleya, Nicole (the Noisy Astronomer), and Aleya’s brother. We are planning to see two launches: Shuttle Endeavour on STS-130 and the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). I am obviously very excited to see the launches.. I have never seen a launch in person!
The launch of STS-130 will be cool as it is likely to be the last night lauch of a space shuttle before they are retired. Even more exciting is the SDO launch, because Aleya works on that team!
As part of the SDO launch, there is going to be a “tweetup” where various people on twitter will meet up for the launch. It looks like a great group going and it should be a great time. Keep an eye on #sdoisgo next week for SDO related tweets.
I am planning to be in touch one way or another as the events unfold. The most immediate method will be through my twitter feed, where you will get stream of consciousness updates as things are happening. My goal is also to blog on a regular basis (every day? every other day?). I am planning to take pictures, and will hopefully get those onto flickr the day of.
Leave comments below if you have any suggestions for other ways I can disseminate information!
