Space shuttle Endeavour stands poised for liftoff at Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, on February 6, 2010.

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY, I flew down to central Florida to visit Kennedy Space Center (KSC) for the first time. What would’ve made today even sweeter would’ve been the launch of Endeavour on the first flight of this final year in the space shuttle program. Endeavour’s first launch attempt was scrubbed early this morning due to bad weather...and is making a second liftoff attempt a couple of hours from now (though the weather may be problematic yet again tonight). Will I visit KSC again, you ask? Well, I was planning to just so I could see in person an Ares I rocket on its launch pad, but Obama ruined everything last Monday. Oh well.

UPDATE (7:30 PM, PST): As for Super Bowl XLIV, I was rooting for the Indianapolis Colts...so y’all excuse me if I don’t say anything about the New Orleans Saints here. Who dat? SCREW dat.
