ROCKET'S RED GLARE: OK, so there's not really any rocket fire from NASA's Space Launch System yet - but soon, they say.
Once the advanced, heavy-lift launch vehicle is operational, it will be the most powerful rocket in history, per NASA.
SLS is designed to carry the new Orion spacecraft, as well as transfer important cargo. The system is designed to provide the U.S. with a safe, affordable and sustainable means to expand our reach in the solar system. Hopefully one day it will carry astronauts to asteroids, Mars and maybe beyond.
SCRAMBLED STATES: While perusing a Goodwill store yesterday, we came across a game based on the "Scrambled States of America" book.
Since we've been working on memorizing states lately, and we love that book, we snatched the game up right away.
It was a good decision. The game is lots of fun, and you can't help but learn more about the states as you play. CJ won, beating Annabelle by one card. Christian and I didn't fare too well. :/
FIREWORKS FRONT ROW: This evening we'll be heading down to Lake Union, 'ground zero' for Seattle's official fireworks show.
As super good luck would have it, one of Christian's family members is pilot of a boat moored on the lake right now. Pictured below, it's very close to the barge which will be shooting off the fireworks. Should be a heckuva view!
