OFF FOR A VISIT TO THE MAN IN THE MOON


You can't keep a good man....or rocket...down. After two delays of shuttle launches in the past week, we finally had a lift-off.
This Atlas V took off on Thursday evening around 5:30 P.M. (a much more sensible time for a spectacular viewing) Aboard were two satellites. One is to be placed in orbit around the moon while the second is targeted for a moon landing. Well, it will be more of a crash than a landing, but it is hoped that it will still be able to transmit a little date from the surface.
