SUNI WILLIAMS DAY AT JSC<\/a><\/p>\n\n <<\/p>\n\n p>So how do we help celebrate this kick-ass achievement?<\/p>\n\n <<\/p>\n\n p>Oh yeah! Curry in the cafeteria. Have any of you had government institutional food before? This intrepid blogger’s passion for venturing places where no man has gone before compels<\/em> him to try the chicken on Friday. If<\/em> I’m ever lucky enough to go in to space someday I am going to make them serve dosas with sour cream and ketchup<\/a> in the cafeteria when I come down. Let’s pray our girl makes it down ok:<\/p>\n\n By the way, Suni’s dog, the terrier she had to leave behind on Earth and who goes by the name of “Flat Gorby,” is becoming kind of famous. You know how people sometimes take pictures of gnomes at different locations around the world? Just type in Flat Gorby in Google<\/a> and see all the hits the dude has and where he has “visited” while she has been up in space.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When my worlds align, you know I’m going to blog it: SUNI WILLIAMS DAY AT JSC Help celebrate a major spaceflight milestone as Expedition 15 Flight Engineer and STS-117 crew member Sunita Williams sets a new female long duration spaceflight … Continue reading Help celebrate a major spaceflight milestone as Expedition 15 Flight Engineer and STS-117 <\/a>crew member Sunita Williams<\/a> sets a new female long duration spaceflight record.

To show your support for Suni, wear something red this Friday, June 15 (In honor of her love of the Red Sox). Also on Friday, the Starport caf\u00c3\u00a9s will feature 2 eggs “Suni”-side up on Texas Toast for $.99 and Chicken Indian Spiced Malai Murgh for $ 3.49 ala cart and $5.99 Combo<\/font>.

NASA engineers and astronauts are working on innovative ways to fix a tear in the heat shield of the shuttle Atlantis which had taken off last Friday.
One of the methods that could be used to fix the tear would be using a stainless steel wire serving as thread and an instrument with a rounded end resembling a small needle.
This is usually used to repair tears in astronaut suits but may work here as well. [Link<\/a>]<\/blockquote>\n\n
