"Congratulations! You have been selected to attend the NASA Tweetup on Sept. 7-8 in conjunction with the launch of the twin GRAIL spacecraft!
The two-day event will provide you the opportunity to tour the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex; speak with scientists and engineers from GRAIL and other upcoming missions; and, if all goes as scheduled, view the spacecraft launch. The launch window opens at 8:37 a.m. EDT on Sept. 8.
I am going to see GRAIL launch atop the Delta 2 rocket in about 3 weeks!! A few days ago I received this email, and I have been walking on sunshine ever since!
Alright, here is the deal. I never, and I mean NEVER, win things. I occasionally get to do some pretty cool things in my life because I get the hook up from some really selfless people, but random chance, "luck of the draw", was never something I was good at. There are no words that can truly express how excited I am. I absolutely adore rocket launches, NASA, space exploration, the universe, the people I have met via this passion, all of it.
***A HUGE THANK YOU to @NASA, and all the folks that handle the @NASATweetup for this incredible opportunity. ***
You can follow my GRAIL NASATweetup adventure on Twitter (@catahouligan) on September 7 and 8.
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."
Stay Tuned!! :)
