THANK GOODNESS ITS FRIDAY!
Did you know that the Space Station flew over Wichita Falls tonight? Around 9:45 pm. It really went across the sky very fast. It traveled from the direction of Amarillo towards Dallas. By the time I came indoors, and checked the NASA website, it was already over the Panama Canal.
It sure traveled quickly!
It is traveling about 17,219 miles per hour! Thats pretty darn fast.
My husband used to work with James (Jim) Kelly, who is an Astronaut and Discovery Pilot for Nasa. (We lovingly used to call him "VEGAS" ) . This was right before we moved to Wichita Falls a few years ago. He went through Pilot Training here at Sheppard Air Force Base and is a really nice guy!
He was a F-15 pilot with my husband in Okinawa Japan.

Also, I got a great photo of the Moon tonight too! The space shuttle was traveling so fast, the 2 photos I took of it are blurry and small.
But I did get a great shot of the moon!
Have a good weekend!
