Happy Easter everyone! Space news!!!!

It might seem a little late to some, but for us its Easter Monday today :)




So, 2009 is turning out to be an interesting year for space flight. I am so excited about the kepler mission! The kepler space telescope is named after this guy:





Johannes Kepler (December 27, 1571 – November 15, 1630) was a German mathematician, astronomer and astrologer, and key figure in the 17th century scientific revolution.

Or so Wikipedea says :D

And the telescope looks like this:

The Kepler Mission is a NASA space telescope designed to discover Earth-like planets orbiting other stars

You can see the rocket launch on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-g44uA8kKwQ

And now for a man I am very, VERY envious of... Charles Simonyi, a Software architect & two time "Space tourtist" from Hungary.

Mr. Simonyi took his second flight to space in March 2009 and spent time aboard Soyuz TMA-14, to return Earth on April 8.

Btw Mr. Simonyi has an awesome website that you can contact him on! http://www.charlesinspace.com/index.cfm

So thats about it for today :) Im going to be on youtube fixing my page for the next couple of horus. http://www.youtube.com/user/GUAlliance
