so, it's 9pm. a crane fell down in nyc 9 blocks from our apartment, around 8am, which made it almost impossible to make our flight. but: we did make it! (11am flight - couldn't get our building shuttle to subway, walked to 103/lex, 6 trains uptown weren't running, got bus transfer, took 3rd avenue bus uptown, got m60 at 125/lex, arrived at lga at 10:30am, ran until i almost vomited to gate, begged security to let us go in front of everyone, got on at the last minute 11:00am aa flight #1617 to mco). holy crap!

at any rate, we made it to the hampton inn melbourne - viera. we have breakfast with an astronaut tomorrow at 10am. i'm open to any smart questions to pose to 'our' astronaut. any of the usual questions i'd thought up (e.g., how do you go to the bathroom) are old and answered online. my boyfriend has his own questions, as he is a scientist. i figured i'd poll you guys here - any good questions (from me!) for our astronaut tomorrow?

i need to hear from you by PM or in these boards by 11pm eastern, as i have to go to bed - we leave our hotel at 7am to arrive by our 'prescribed' 9am arrival time, for our breakfast, tours, etc. launch time is 5:02pm tomorrow. thanks for everyone's advice in getting here, and let me know anything you want me to ask!

regards,
katherine
