Merritt Island-Where Dreams Are Launched

AWESOME SPACE SOCKS THAT I FOUND.

Ok so basically….I’ve been volunteering at Molly Mutt Thrift Store (with the Central Brevard Humane Society-proceeds help the sheltered animals) on the island on Saturdays. And since I live where Kennedy Space Center is, we get a lot of space-related donations from residents in the community. What I do there is I take in donations, and I have to go through them and pick out what to put in the store and what should be thrown out. I have to hang clothes and price everything. So we got a bag of clothes in, and as I was going through it, I came across these pairs of socks and trust me, I flipped out. It was like the greatest discovery ever hahahahah so I took pics of them on my phone to show you all!

ARE’NT THEY AWESOME!?????

Freaking “NASA moon boot” SOCKS, come on, that’s the coolest ever.

Yet another reason why I LOVE where I live. 

P.S. I’m so sorry I haven’t been posting much lately….have a lot going on, I graduate in a matter of like 25 days haha so I’ve been pretty stressed out with school and blah blah blah. But after graduation on May 18th, I’ll be posting plenty again, as I used to! I miss you all! <3

&#8220;On the craft&#8217;s maiden voyage, the crew of space shuttle Columbia took this image that showcases the blackness of space and a blue and white Earth, as well as the cargo bay and aft section of the shuttle. The image was photographed through the flight deck&#8217;s aft windows. In the lower right corner is one of the vehicle&#8217;s radiator panels. The pentagon-shaped object in the upper left is glare caused by window reflection. 
STS-1, Columbia&#8217;s maiden voyage, launched on April 12, 1981, and was the inaugural flight in the Space Shuttle Program. Columbia and its crew were lost during STS-107 mission in 2003. As the shuttle lifted off from Kennedy Space Center on Jan. 16, a small portion of foam broke away from the external fuel tank and struck the orbiter&#8217;s left wing. The resulting damage created a hole in the wing&#8217;s leading edge, which caused the vehicle to break apart during reentry on Feb. 1.&#8221;Image Credit: NASA
