Mr. Rahlmann Heads to NASA Tweetup!

On Thursday and Friday, May 13-14, Mr. Rahlmann will have the experience of a lifetime!  He is headed to Kennedy Space Center to cover the launch of Space Shuttle Atlantis on Mission STS-132!  On Thursday, Mr. Rahlmann will get to meet and talk with astronauts, engineers, technicians, and members of NASA's Social Media Team.  He will also get to take a VIP Tour of the Kennedy Space Center, with a special stop to get to come within 1,000 feet of Space Shuttle Atlantis for a photo opportunity.  On Friday, Mr. Rahlmann will be reporting from the Press Area at Pad 39A, right along side the mainstream media, like CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC.  This should all build up to the launch of Atlantis on it's final mission to space, currently scheduled for lift-off at 1:20 PM Central Daylight Time.

During this whole experience, Mr. Rahlmann will be sharing his thoughts here on this blog as well as in real-time on Twitter.com and broadcasting live video and interviews on UStream.com.  Mr. Rahlmann wants to make this experience special for all students, staff, and friends to share in the journey right along with him!

I can't wait to join Mr. Rahlmann at this awesome event. It will be very educational, and a once in a life event, to get to see a shuttle (or even a rocket) launch from this close!

Ryan,

Seeing a Space Shuttle launch is an awe-inspiring thing no matter where you watch it from! I have seen one from the NASA Causeway and one from Walt Disney World, and it was just as powerful either place!

Best wishes!
