While not an awesome space shot, I did have he pleasure of passing down my young astronaut club info to my son. This was a club I started when I was in fifth grade at my school. My grandfather was vice president of Harris, which is an engineering company. They build the electronics for the shuttle. My club was able to have access to some really awesome places in NASA. I also had 2 cousins that worked for NASA at the time as chemical and aeronautics engineers. For almost a decade they would send me photos of flight crews, info on each one, a replica of the patches worn on their suits and a description of the meaning, as well as some other cool photos. My son has been saying since he was 4 that he wants to be a pilot for NASA. He's now 7 and was in awe of the folder I gave him. We have a future science/engineer/pilot in the making here, and I think that's pretty freaking spectacular!

Enhanced color view of Saturn's ring system was assembled from clear, orange and ultraviolet frames from a distance of 8.9 million kilometers (5.5 million miles) by Voyager 2 in 1981. The difference in color is attributable to chemical and physical variations.

Was just reading they found a bunch of new earth like planets around. Have to see if I can find that article again. Was just released in the last week or two.
