My friend Brooke is a reporter for a news station in Los Angeles and she is covering the briefing at NASA regarding the Mars landing. I am watching it right now on NASA TV.
Because I am mature and am grasping the amazing excitement of this event to its fullest I thought to ask, “Brooke. Oh my gosh. Cough. RIGHT NOW COUGH SO I CAN HEAR IT!”
And she did.
And I did.
Reaching for the stars, people. I’m reaching for the stars.
Don’t get me wrong, she is a stellar, professional and amazing journalist. But she’s also one of my best friends and we are completely lame together.
Text messaging during NASA briefings is a great invention.
Gotta go in case I miss a sneeze…
