The NASA ticket lottery...

for the opportunity to purchase up to six tickets to close-in viewing sites on the Kennedy Space Center grounds for the launch of STS-134, the final mission for Endeavour (shown above rolling out to pad 39A), was won by the Bu bro!   (I had entered the lottery too, but am a big loser.)

So, cross your fingers that the mission will lift off as scheduled (a 40% probability based on all shuttle launch records) as we're Florida-bound for several days in mid-April to hopefully witness a bit of history.

UPDATE:  The Bu bro snared four tickets when they went on sale Monday morning, and we'll even dine with an astronaut the day of the launch!

    Very cool, way to go Jim! Hate to even ask how much a ticket costs once you have the opportunity to buy them....
