The Space Shuttle Crew...well sort of.

If we look like we all had a lot of fun shooting this picture you are 100% correct. The video footage of us shooting this with a green screen background would win top prize on America's Funniest Videos...hands down. It took 4 takes to get Sherry's picture right, through no fault of her own. She's like a cartoon character, which only cracked us up. Hope even has a smile here ! Best part about the photo is Nicky being the centerpiece ! He looks like the captain of the ship directing all of us. It actually took a little over 30 minutes for them to shoot and crop the photo.


This is Sherry's Green Screen. I believe take #3.


Here's Rich's green screen. I hope he actually got to the "Ice Show" the next day and didn't wind up in traction ! I think they made him hold that pose for 20 seconds.

Kennedy Space Center Group Photo

This was the shot that I cut Rich's head off on from my Blackberry. This one came from the folks @ KSC (Kennedy Space Center). I wish we would have been earlier risers, so that we could have spent more time with Rich, Nicky and Lu. I feel bad that I bored them to death with my space program stories from when my dad worked for NASA. One day I'll dig out that film slide that came back from Apollo 11 and share it.
