I have a similar photo somewhere, only I think it's Columbia.

Oh, sniff. I just... yeah, space. It's all teary-making. Did you see this this vid btw? It also made me cry.

Also, hi! How are you?

Ohhhhh. That vid is just gorgeous. And yes, it brought tears to my eyes. Thank you.

My Columbia photo was issued by someone like NatGeo to commemorate the first shuttle launch in 1981, which means I must've ordered it by international mail and paid with an actual check, all of which now seems like such a stone-age way of doing things. We live in a space ship, dear.

I'm OK, thanks - for February. Rainy February. Kind of behind of lots of things,* including LJ. I saw you have a new fic up, though! Looking forward to it.

*This is not news.

The whole living in the future thing is pretty insane.

I am also behindhand with the world... hopefully will catch up soon, and am looking forward to spring.

I feel you. My heart's breaking a little right now. It's the end of an era - a very special one - indeed. I was a child, but I remember the birth of the shuttle program with its flagship, the Enterprise, thereby making all shuttles of its type Enterprise-class vessels.

*melancholy sigh* I know, right?

Thank you for the photograph. I've *cough* borrowed it and set it as my laptop's wallpaper to commemorate the passing of something magnificent. (It won't go anywhere, the photo. ☺) You honor it with your post, for which I also thank you. ♥
