[slapwhitey]

I forgot about that...thanks for the heads up. I will keep it in mind.

 

[Yvet]

This is really cool.. Yvette!! How did you find this?

Hi,

Emiel is a real nerd about all things NASA so he found it.......
Het told me about it just the day after Bob passed away and then i new immidiatly that is what i want to do for Bob.

Emiel also found out that you can do the same but then for Mars.

It's somewhere on the NASA website......

Did you see the lightbulb that went off all the way in the Netherlands??

That is you who did that! That is the coolest thing ever!! I am glad you posted I will be thinking of Bob on his way to the moon!!

Here is a link to a picture that shows the chip containing (amongst some others) Bawb's name:

One thing I know for sure -- Bawb will have a much better view now than he ever did in the parking lot (no matter where he stood!).

Wow that is such an awesome thing to do Yvette! I will be thinking of him and you!

 

[L.E. Ott]

Just wanted to point out that the live feed is available on NASA's page. It's already up and covering the launch events.

 

[zendisney]

yvet, that is so cool. How thoughtful of you. I am amazed at all the joy Bawb still brings us all. : )

The weather in central FL is kinda nasty today.

I'm glad it's better on the coast.

I called Diana this morning to remind her.

 

[PixieFan]

This is so cool!! We have NASA TV on our cable so I am watching it live. My son just came it to see what I was watching and is now making fun of me because I am getting teary thinking about Bob going "up" on this rocket. I tried to explain about BAWB an all of my "Imaginary Podcast Friends". He just shook his head an left the room. Kids...What cha gonna do? I read a lot of posts just don't have a lot to contribute. Therefore, the low post count. But this I thought ya'll could enjoy.

 

[NWOhioAngela]

Watching on Dish network too! (channel 213 at my house)

 

[NC Belle]

Thanks for the reminder--got NASA TV channel on now.

 

[NWOhioAngela]

I'm guessing they're riding on the Orange side

 

[DisneyKevin]

We watched the rocket launch.

Bob is in space.

He would LOVE this.

Thanks Emiel and Yvette.

I just spoke with Diana. She sends her heartfelt thanks as well.

 

[GabbyMom]

We are watching it live on Nasa tv too. Gabby thinks that Bob is talking to her on the tv. and our dog Magic that was put to sleep laast week is on the shuttle with Bob, keeping him company.

Godspeed Bob

 

[L.E. Ott]

And Bawb is on his way as of 5:32 PM. The LRO will be starting it's orbit within the next 4 hours, and the LCROSS is scheduled to hit the moon on Oct 9.
