As most of you know, David has a pretty cool job. Right now, as I type, he is sitting on mission control checking out the space suits for the shuttle crew in orbit. If you feel like watching from 7pm to 4 am, you might find him on NASA TV (although you may not recognize him since he wears a tie!!). Anyways, he is also training the crew for the next scheduled flight for December. One of the astronauts has gotten to be pretty good friends with David, and he asked us if we would like him to "fly" something for us. They evidently get to take a few small, lightweight things from friends and family to take in orbit and then bring home... with the sole purpose of getting to tell people it was in space! We decided on a family photo, one we could later frame with captions that say how many miles it traveled and for how many days, etc. So, here is the pic that will orbit our wonderful Mother Earth in the near future. I am curious, all you readers... what would you have chosen to "fly?" It was a hard choice, especially since it had to be small and stuff. Just wondering...

This is a great topic! I think I would have chose a family picture as well. We have a friend who flew a CD of their baby's ultrasound pictures. They have a picture of the CD floating in space.
Hey Jodi,
What a beautiful family. Reagan is such a striking baby. I am so happy for you. You look awsome! Thanks for the email.

Jodi,
David's job is very cool! I think the photo was a good choice to fly. I can't think of anything better.
I was completely thrown off when I saw that a "Kendra" had already posted and I was trying to read it and remember if I was the "Kendra" that typed it! :)
I think the family pic was a great idea for something to go to space.
