If you're in the vicinity of the DC Capital region, you may just hear someone yelling that phrase at 2:01PM tomorrow.
The Reason? The Shuttle Atlantis is scheduled to lift off at that time, on the last mission to visit and repair the Hubble telescope. An old buddy of mine (we used to be in the same squadron flying F-111s together, that's how "old" a buddy he is!
), Col Mike "Bueno" Good, will be on board as a mission specialist, fulfilling his long anticipated dream to be an astronaut and get to space, after nearly a decade long wait. He will perform several spacewalks to service the Hubble while there.
Bueno, Sierra Hotel! Way to go, man! I am so happy for you.
So, all I can say is "God Speed, Mike" and I WILL be the one screaming "Go Hotdog! GO!" when the shuttle clears the tower...
