Top 5 List for This Weekend: The Space Edition
In two days. TWO DAYS!
The MAVEN will liftoff for Mars from Cape Canaveral, and I'll be there to see it. MAVEN will address two fascinating questions: what happened to the Martian atmosphere and when did all the water disappear?
In anticipation of the weekend, here's my top five list of events. I'll blog it up as soon as I can, but this is my List of Anticipated Activities of Awesomeness, or LAAA!, for short:
5. Presentation by Bill Nye the Science Guy on the Main Stage in Rocket Garden. So many things are right about that sentence. Here's the theme song from his show, which could jog your memory, get stuck in your head, or both.
4. Meet and greet with astronaut Wendy Lawrence. She's logged 1200 hours in space.
3. "The Path of Humans To Mars" Briefing. This one will be broadcast on NASA TV, if NASA TV you indeed receive. My question isn't WHEN we're going to get there, but what we will do once we're there.
2. Meeting Charlie Bolden, NASA's Administrator (aka Head Honcho), and former astronaut in his own right. I have no questions for him thus far.
1. Seeing the MAVEN liftoff for Mars. Nothing compares to the earthquaking punch of a rocket shattering gravity's shackles.
Simple, sleek, earthquaking fun...
So, follow the blog and check out the tweets (@adamholtwrites and #MAVEN).
