Simple things are worth blogging about

A new mission has been completed up in space. The guys working on the Space Station have successfully added an observation deck to the space craft they rely on to keep them safe in outer space. This was not a cheap project for the crew that make up the International Space Station. The new observation deck cost 27 million dollars. I doubt anyone on Earth has ever spent that kind of money on a deck or overlook for their home.
This is just another toy for the guys that are lucky enough to get a chance to experience life on the Space Station. One day we may get to see ordinary citizens have the opportunity to travel to the space station. I’m not sure if I would ever want to go or not. I would love it once I got up there and I would like to see the Earth from outer space. I just don’t trust the travel methods that are in place now that gets these brave men and women to the International Space Station. It takes a powerful rocket system to get those astronauts in outer space and a lot of things have to go right in order for this to succeed. I’m not sure how long it took these guys to build their new observation deck, but sometimes the smallest things can take a lot of time when your working outside of the Earth’s atmosphere. If NASA gave you the chance to visit the space station one day, would you like to go? I don’t think we are too far away from seeing normal people make the long trip into outer space.
