Due to Terry's totally reversed schedule, I have to confess that I feel like I'm in a whirlwind. I'm up all day and all night, snatching sleep where I can. Anyway, Terry had the tremendous fortune to get the first wakeup music of the mission, "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath. He totally won my heart again, by saying good morning to his beautiful wife and kids. In an email later that day, he said that he had woken up and quickly rolled back the window cover to "look straight at Hawaii and the Pacific Ocean. It was my first view of the earth looking up at the whole thing. It was indescribable! The lyrics were perfect. We can't even imagine how amazing God is for creating this universe." Brandon was able to watch the launch and follow along, so it was exciting to hear him on the local Christian radio later that day. WOW, this whole experience has been phenomenal. Oh, yes Terry did work all day on flight day 2, he fixed the TV/audio/video equipment and worked the robotic arm for the heat shield inspection. But he had me at "good morning."
