We met all the astronauts from STS-119...and More!

The Shuttle arrived yesterday, Saturday, in Florida. Today the entire crew of STS-119 was flown out to Ellington Field. We were invited to their press conference, which we pretty much missed, but we got there just in time to meet the astronauts. It was awesome!


The girls with a female astronaut...awesome.


Brad and Joe with Sandy, she was up on the ISS for 4 months

I asked her how she was feeling after being in space for 4 months. She said she felt strong but said she still couldn't move her head too fast otherwise she would get a little dizzy.


The girls and Sandy!

We talked to Sandy, who was on the ISS for 4 months. She was really excited to talk to us because we were part of the microgravity program AND that we all said we wanted to be astronauts...because who wouldn't want to be.


Tony and I

While we were in Houston, we were keeping up with the Discovery crew by watching the NASA channel. I decided that Tony was my favorite out of the whole crew since every time he, and the crew, was on camera he was always smiling. He just seemed so happy with what he was doing and where he was. He was really friendly and I really wanted to have a heart to heart conversation with him. Unfortunately, I was a little star struck (I'm such a nerd). I didn't know what to say, I couldn't think of anything, but at least I got my picture with him! I was hoping we would be best friends by this point but I guess that wont happen now.
