Things That Are Even Cooler Than Lindsay Lohan: Space Shuttle Atlantis Launch
May 11th, 2009 by Evil BeetNASA launched the Space Shuttle Atlantis today, along with seven crew members, as part of the final service mission for the Hubble Space Telescope. A successful mission would make Hubble up to 90 times more powerful than it was originally and extend its operating lifetime until at least 2014. Their goals are to repair a critical component of the telescope, add two new instruments, and locate Suri Cruise’s biological father.
The crew will be in outer space for 11 days.

Totally awesome! Space missions get me excited like a little kid.
Fantastic. I always get goose bumps. It is just unbelievably amazing!

You have to be some brave (crazy) mother fuckers to ride up into the sky on a mountain of fire.
Lucky bastards get to see space.
