Shuttle Crew Inspects Heat Shield, Prepares for Station Docking

This stuff barely gets a mention in the news. People just seem to take space missions for granted nowadays.

"The STS-127 crew will spend their second day in space inspecting space shuttle Endeavour’s heat shield and preparing for Friday’s docking with the International Space Station. The astronauts also will check out their spacesuits and tools for the mission’s five spacewalks."

You okay, Star?

Hi Andrea, yes I am. I have had a lot of doctor appointments lately. Have had some heart tests and recheck for my foot, etc. The Lupus is wreaking havoc with my blood pressure and it's "bouncing", so am trying to get that under control. Plus we have been having remodeling done on the house...so TOO MUCH going on here all at once! I hope to get a post up soon, though.

Ok, thanks for letting us know. I'm just a worrywart!
