Terrace Downs Resort, Canterbury - NASA - Space Shuttle Discovery - 21st May 2011
Hi There,
It was surpose to be the end of the world? 6pm - 21st May 2011 but NO ... It wasn't thank goodness! I was at the Stunning Golf Resort - Terrace Downs, Canterbury for a Special Presentation on The Space Shuttle Discovery's last Space Mission. The event was hosted by Owner/CEO Jonny Henriksen and the six Astronauts from the last Space Shuttle Discovery's Flight to ISS had all the guests and students from WindWhistle School on the edge of their seats with all the interesting facts on life on the International Space Station {ISS} and about the 8 min Launch into outer space of the Space Shuttle. I managed to get all the Astronauts signatures{cool} I am a total Space Cadet...:)
One of the Crew mentioned that the 16 country operation International Space Station could be seen in the North - West night sky tomorrow night at 6.40pm on Sunday 22nd May. so I went to the Christchurch International Airport to see if I could see it and get a photo of it moving across the sky at 250,000km/per and I did get a cool shot! Check it out.
I have also been lucky enough to have seen 2 space shuttle launches at Cape Canaveral - Kennedy Space Center in the U.S. the first Space Shuttle Atlantis {7th Feb 2001} and then Discovery {26th July 2005} just Awesome!!
It is a bit sad that the NASA Space Shuttle Programme will end this year 2011.
