One year ago today I saw and heard the most amazing thing for the first time in my life. Sadly, I will never see it again. As a member of a NASA Tweetup (now called NASA Social), I saw my first space shuttle launch from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Inside, I have a post waiting to be written to express my gratitude for being part of the NASA Tweetup/NASA Social community but for now, enjoy these previous posts I have written about the incredible experience.
