Astronaut Finally Goes To Place More Desolate Than NE Philly
Chris Ferguson, the Northeast Philadelphia native who had to sit through weeks of delays of the launch of his first shuttle flight, has finally popped his microgravity cherry. Ferguson (at right) and the rest of the astronauts took two days to get from Earth to the International Space Station. The AP reported that he had a wide grin as he was given a tour of the ISS. Hurrah! The crew is on schedule for its very important mission: Installing solar panels on the space station. If you’re scoring at home, that means we can use solar energy reliably, but only if we travel two days into space first. Hey, it’s a start.
