President Obama Visits KSC on This Week @NASA

TWAN0429

Despite the scrubbed launch attempt of shuttle Endeavour, President Obama and family members visited and toured facilities at the Kennedy Space Center. The Obamas got an up-close look at orbiter Atlantis inside the Orbiter Processing Facility and met with STS-134 crew members at the Launch Control Center. Also, why Endeavour’s launch was scrubbed; NASA, USAID partner for solutions; Alan Shepard honored; spaceflight symposium; Voyagers continue on; and Pharell promotes STEM for students.

Pres. Obama’s visit to KSC is a good sign — it symbolizes that he endorses scientific and technological advances.
On the other hand, very irritating that the launch was scrubbed — the shuttle program is infamous for its shortcomings.
Other topic that interests me in this update is the piece on the Voyager crafts; but nothing new there, they just reiterated the achievements of Voyager I and II. It’s amazing how far out they are, though — that always stuns me; and gets me thinking.

@dKlompas i do wish the Obamas had gotten to see a launch. It’s life altering. Seeing that stuff up close is pretty life changing as well- until you see it all up close you don’t realize the size and scope of it all. I was not a huge NASA supporter until i saw it all- and then all of a sudden i realized HOW IMPORTANT NASA’s work is. Seeing a launch is like a religious experience. I hope it inspired him to push for more funding.
