I hope that shuttle stays in one piece
I looked at the TV schedule and saw that Jackie Brown was on. I havn’t seen that one in a couple of years, so I made a couple of sandwiches and sat down to watch. But there was no movie for me, since the TV site I use hadn’t updated their listing to show that this night’s programming had been rescheduled because of the Discovery launch.
It has become quite a big deal in the media here, since Christer Fuglesang is about to become the first Swede in space. Personally I don’t care, I don’t event know anyone who is the least bit excited about it, but with all the news about it you’d think he’s not only taking a trip to the ISS but travelling solo to the Moon on a rocket made of Dalahästar and surströmming. I mean, space isn’t big news these days, people walked on the moon almost 40 years ago, and the guy isn’t even going halfway.
So personally I hope the shuttle stays in one piece. If something would go wrong and Fuglesang ends up scattered across the stratosphere the press would go crazy for a long time, but if everything goes well he’ll be yesterday’s news in no time.
