Today, the Jaramillos and the McLartys became...

That is right. On November 1, 2010 (weather permitting) the McLarty family and the Jaramillo family will be taking off on flight with NASA on one of their last few space missions...well ok, maybe we are not physically going. Our photos are going though!

Last week I was bumming around online, shocker I know, and stumbled upon NASA's Your Face in Space program. All you have to do is go to NASA's Web site, upload your photo and then you are cleared for take off! NASA will be taking all of the photos up into outer space with them on their last two space missions. When the shuttles land you can go back online and print out your certificate of participation. How cool, right?

I tried to do photo of Todd's and my family together, but not all of us would fit so I broke us down into two. This is the photo of my family that is going:

and this is the photo of Todd's family:

I don't know if you would consider formal wear appropriate for space travel, but I just thought we should all be dressed to the nines for this once in a lifetime experience. If you can't tell, Todd's family was able to keep their composure preparing for the big space event, my family not so much.

There are only 2 flights left if you want to participate. STS-133 is the launch we are going on and is taking off November 1st. STS-134 is taking off in February. The best part, it is totally free to hitch a ride! I hope that the weather participates and we can have a safe flight.

Happy flights astronauts!
