Our 1st grader brings home a short book each night to practice her reading with Dad and Mom.
I guess you might call it homework.
Tonight's book was about a little girl who wanted to be an astronaut.
Take a look at one pic from the book:
A shuttle!
Do you remember NASA and the U.S. Space Program? I sure do! It was a super exciting deal on the days the shuttle was blasted into space. And a similarly exciting day when the shuttle returned from space.
I remember those days well.
I also remember the 2 tragic days when Space Shuttles didn't reach their destination safely. I was in a grade school classroom for one of them and was iced-in at Marshall, Minnesota for the other.
Wonder where the shuttles are today? I know at least 1 was moved to a museum.
The others? Rusting away in a boneyard somewhere, maybe?
Out for now....
