Oh....

I wish....
We got a letter in the mail today:

 It's not every day you get a letter from NASA.
And in it was something very few people ever get:

 An official launch invitation!!

Too bad we can't go.  sigh....
The launch is scheduled for August 5th.  There is no way we can get to Florida. I can't get that week off work, someone else has already requested time off.   We can't afford to fly with all 5 of us and it would take too long to drive.  sigh some more....
It would have been a great experience for the children.  I know my parents are going and one of my sisters (and a niece who lives in Florida).
Hopefully there will be other invitations in the future.  This is one of the perks of having a brother who is a rocket scientist- for real!!
