It's raining here in Houston. The number one priority here at NASA is Safety First! Following the announcement that the flight would be grounded, we had the opportunity to listen to Astronaut Leland Melvin. Astronaut Melvin has had an exciting career path living out his dreams. From being drafted to the NFL to being a research assistant in college to actually flying on multiple missions with NASA - he has led an exciting life. He challenged us all to live our dreams by not allowing any challenges or obstacles to hinder our vision. "Every problem is an opportunity" is one of his life mottos.
As teachers, we have decided not to let the obstacle of weather hinder our dreams. Tomorrow the weather looks all clear and we will be out of here - flying with our experiment in microgravity.
