ntrprnr 0 #1 January 8, 2009 As a thank you to a few acts of Good Karma I performed, I was invited to hang out with the two pilots who pilot the 747 that flies the shuttle back as well as their families these past two days near Houston. I was there to do a speaking gig, and hung out with them after. While there, I met Dr. Nick Patrick, Steve Nagel, got to play in the Mockup of the Shuttle, crawl around a T-38, and in general, just have an amazing, life-altering time. It was truly a special 24 hours. I thought you'd want to see photos and video - www.shankman.com - Also, photos attached below. This Geek was in heaven. :D Apparently, though, none of the photos I want to upload here are small enough. So here's the link to the Facebook photo album... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=70237&l=09b0f&id=703291673_______________ "Why'd you track away at 7,000 feet?"

It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
