Do you ever feel so overwhelmed by the daily wonders of life which surround you that you begin suspecting everything is merely a figment of your imagination?

Do we REALLY even exist?

Can we REALLY fly in jet aircraft?

Can humans REALLY travel into Outer Space?

Just imagine traveling EIGHTEEN THOUSAND miles per hour!

Imagine the EXTREMELY rigorous self discipline of an entire lifetime required for someone to become an astronaut, having spent all of those years and decades preparing for this one moment in history.

In a couple of days, the Space Shuttle will dock with the International Space Station, and then, we'll get to see even greater wonders, as Spacemen float around in Outer Space to perform their maintenance duties.

And we get to watch every bit of it, as it's being broadcast over the Internet - LIVE - on our personal computers!

Wow!

Oh, DOUBLE Wow ! ! !
