NASA - NASA's Unpiloted Global Hawk Completes First Science Flight

I have always been a fan of NASA and once took Mom to every NASA facility you can tour in the Southeast over a period of years. Mom was always most surprised that freeze dried astronaut ice cream was not cold. I was most impressed how fragile the Mercury capsule looked like and that is one reason folks like Buzz Aldrin and John Glenn remain heroes I am proud to have as Americans. I managed to work an hour at the Fitness Formula with our class and I can tell it in my arms. It is odd that working with four pound weights for 30 rep's, can get your arms and shoulders so sore. Oddly enough the one that is hardest for my arms is where you take the weights in front of you and then kind of pour out of a bucket movement. My arms burn like a big dog on that one. The second hardest is to lie back on your chair and bring your weights up and then together using chest muscles. Tai Chi work has helped me get more leg strength and more flexibility thankfully. I sometimes try to get in two Tai Chi rounds after class since it helps me get less sore afterwards. I was able to get to Belle our horse and my daughter in effect and groom a muddy side she laid in after the storm and she tried to groom my back while I brushed her. Horses are amazing creatures and I am still learning about them. What I don't know is much larger than what I think I know. At least I can fill water buckets, groom, check hooves, and know my horse loves her FOODS. Now work may be a four letter word, but at least she is happy. Sonny Hovious found she likes to eat Starlight peppermints. Live long and prosper. NASA -
