Space Exploration

NASA launched another rocket today sending new crew members to the International Space Station.  I showed some video to the little boys, and they thought it was pretty fascinating!  Our family has been to the Johnson Space Station in Houston before.  An old friend of our family trains the astronauts, so we got a behind the scenes tour and were able to test out simulators and all kinds of other fun stuff.  In 2012, we were blessed to be able to meet a Christian astronaut who is involved in the Orion project, Col. Terry Virts.  He gave testimony to God's marvelous creation seen in outer space.  He spent several months on the International Space Station himself.
