Trying to keep track of the ever-changing launch date for Discovery's next mission, STS-119, I totally forgot about who was on the crew manifest: Steve "Swanny" Swanson, who delivered the Firefly/Serenity DVDs to the International Space Station on STS-117 back in 2007!

(It's so cool that the NASA person who wrote that entry added that bit about Firefly/Serenity!)
It's also cool that Lee Archambault, the pilot of STS-117, is the commander of this mission!

Make room for me. I've dreamed of spaceflight since the Apollo program, but being middle aged, female, having severe nearsightedness and not being of a scientific bent I've about given up.
