Up, up and away!

10:02 am Saturday morning.  Look due east and watch the show.

NASA lit the fuse on another big rocket (Atlas V) taking a new and bigger rover vehicle (named Curiosity) to the planet Mars.  They say they're looking for signs of life on the old Red planet but I think once they get there (next summer) most of those little green people will already be on vacation.

This shot was taken from our back yard some 75 miles away from Cape Canaveral.  I've seen a number of these launches but each one is still as exciting as the last.  Still a kid at heart, I guess.

'Curiosity' off to get curious
Still livin' the dream but keeping my feet on the ground.
