Seriously, how cool is that?

There are few who have ever experienced true weightlessness, or have seen the earth from space. Its a pretty exclusive club, and the chances are that we aren't closer to seeing general travel becoming the norm for a couple more generations. Grand Rapids native Jack Lousma is one of those who has had the rare opportunity, and he is going to to share some of his experiences during a Pat Colbeck fundraiser on Friday. ($20 - CHEAP)

From his Bio:

Lousma is one of the 19 astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966. He served as a member of the astronaut support crews for the Apollo 9, 10, and 13 missions. He was the pilot for Skylab-3 (July 28 to September 25, 1973) and was spacecraft commander on STS-3 (March 22-30, 1982), logging a total of over 1,619 hours in space. Lousma also spent 11 hours on two spacewalks outside the Skylab space station.

Anyhow, the event is on SATURDAY September 14, 2013 at 2pm - 5pm
