    I happen to be one of those who as a kid wanted to walk in space.

    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.
    Heck, I would settle for only one.

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

    WHERE: Yankee Air Museum 47884 D St, Belleville, MI 48111

    This event will be held on Saturday.

    One other thing: If you have the time this weekend, stop by early and check out the YAF Museum Exhibits including the "Yankee Lady", "Yankee Warrior" and "Yankee Doodle Dandy".

    A true American from California, has posted on his blog about a fund raiser for the Yankee Air Museum.
