STS-119 Discovery flies into space

Space shuttle launch - one of those things you need to go see at Cape Canaveral Florida live in person. Unforgettable & impressive beyond description.

Goddard is one of 11 NASA centers. 2009 is NASA’s 50th anniversary! NASA’s mission is to pioneer the future in space exploration, scientific discovery and aeronautics research.

on a trip this week down I-71 south from columbus to harrisburg exit, i passed a number of semi's like this carrying something large shrunkwrapped in white plastic. this one caught my eye.

foosball

here's a crazy thing.
foosball, or table-top soccer, has been a part of my life since college.
we even gave our family table away to my son's fraternity a few years ago.
probably eventually firewood. ;+)

a normal foosball table is for 4 players, 2 per side.
the wikipedia page on "foosball" has this image
of an amazing table built in germany for 11 players per side.
