Well, not technically. But I did sign up to participate in a NASA media program.

“When Perseverance launches to Mars, it will carry three dime-size chips with 10.9 million names submitted by people all over the world. Those who already submitted their names can get a special “Now Boarding” stamp on their boarding passes….”

Below is my mission badge!

This is really exciting! I cannot wait until they send people to Mars!

Launch is currently scheduled for July 30th at 7 am EDT.

I am coming to love handing over my phone to my goddaughter and her sisters. I always get cute videos and photos. It’s so special to be able to see the world through their eyes and hear their ideas and stories when they are playing on their own.

These are some pretty successful images: of flowers near the rectory, and a kid’s perspective photo of her parents.

I love how she included so many photos of her feet. As adults, how often to we take the time to document the kids in their tiny shoes? Or look at the sidewalk?
