The Final Countdown!

The LAUNCH Video...FINALLY.



I realize that I took this trip over a year and a half ago, now...not to mention that my last installment of the footage was posted over ten months ago--but better late than never. It's hard to justify making fun videos when trying to finish school, preparing for a baby, and starting a new job!

But as luck would have it, I was able to find a few spare moments over the last few weeks to do a little editing and finally get the launch part into a segment. After all, that's the payoff! Who wants to follow the antics of goofy 40-something-year-olds under the stress of sleep deprivation and general confusion while racing around Florida marshes when they can watch giant rockets blast into the sky?

So, enjoy!

In all seriousness, this was such a memorable and unique experience...and one that I will never forget! I'm glad my wife was supportive of me to just take off to Florida and do it...and to tell the tale afterwards.

As we get ready for our boy, Cooper, to come into this world...it reminds me that boyish dreams and unrestrained imagination have an important, and real place on this earth...even if its manifestation is a little delayed! I hope to impart this realization with him, allow him to remember to keep dreaming, and to not lose hope in the process. Apparently, the only thing you really need for that is a healthy dose of curiosity and a little patience!
