What's an astronaut?

Mommy said I can be anything I want when I grow up. On Friday, she told me I can even go see the stars if I want, and she showed me how. We took a LONG trip in my carseat, and got to see the space shuttle lift off! I saw it land when I was just a baby, so this was pretty cool.

This picture was taken about 5 seconds after liftoff. It was neat- the whole sky lit up, and the shuttle went way up to the moon!
This was about 10 seconds after liftoff. We stayed until you couldn't see it any more. I saw the boosters separate and fall back down to Earth, too!

It took Mommy a long time to explain all this to me, but I'm a smart boy- I caught on after a while! All I know is- I want to go into space some day!

    Boy Conner you are a lucky little boy to see the space shuttle go off and even to see it land when you were even younger. I know my 3little girl's Pappy would have loved to seen that. Maybe someday. I'm glad you enjoyed you Grammy's visit. Grammy's are great, aren't they?
