First GRAIL Spacecraft in Orbit

It was fun to watch the successful entry of GRAIL-A spacecraft to lunar orbit "live" on Eyes on the Solar System.  If that sounds like a rockin' New Year's Eve but you missed it, don't worry you'll get another chance tomorrow as GRAIL-B unites.

Saw your comment on the Mars blog and then your comment on the Space X Model. I just ordered mine thanks to your comment. Will display at Parkland Magnet MS for Aerospace Technology....Gave a talk there last year re Space Tourism and another is scheduled for this Spring.

Thanks for the comment, StarryTelling. By the way, your G+ account does not allow folks in your circles to send you messages. Thanks for the follow as well.

I'm glad you are out there being a space tourism promoter(an aerospace middle school, WOW!). I'm still trying to find where I fit in with space advocacy.

Enjoy the model. I hope you're ok with it being a flying model, in other words, not a scale replica. I did read a review on Amazon that it was nice enough to display.

Thanks,

John
