We have been very excited about the newest space expedition to the international space station. We counted down anxiously with the experts at NASA as we witnessed the rocket blast off into orbit! Allegedly if it's a clear evening and the children look out at around 5.10 tonight they may catch a glimpse of the international space station. This will be approximately the time that the British astronaut will catch his first glimpse of our world from the space station and the first country he will see is ours!
