Snail Mail Better Than Email...!

The Facebook announcement of its new apps overshadowed the final space shuttle launch. In fact even the controversial Casey Anthony trial latest news is nowhere to be found in Google trending yesterday and today. But hey, I am not going to talk about it here and that wasn't the main subject either. Although Facebook's launching of the Skype application has been trending high today, higher than the announcement of Yao Ming’s retirement from basketball and much higher of Selena’s role in Monte Carlo, that won’t make me have a bite of writing.

If you happen to drop by here yesterday, I made a post regarding the last space shuttle launch and ending NASA’s space shuttle program. It’s because of this post that I became annoyed and experience what it’s like to have a slow internet connection. It affects all that you want to accomplish in minutes which will now take hours to finish and immediately remembered one thing that is shown below. It always sipped into my mind the following sentence “Sometimes it’s so slow that it’s faster to send a snail mail than an email”.

Now, I fully understand the agony of those bloggers who have a slow connection. Prior to this experience I don’t always have a problem connecting in the internet since I have a fiber optic connection in the house and I am the only one using the password secured wi-fi. But now that I’m on a 3-week vacation here in Cebu, Philippines at the house of my parents, it’s a never ending waiting for every page to load. And I can no longer watch NASA’s Final Space Shuttle Launch Live.

Final Space Shuttle Launch

People at the Cape Canaveral is preparing for the last and final space shuttle launch today but it seems that bad weather is threatening to delay Atlantis’ final voyage before its retirement. In fact, space shuttle Atlantis is already waiting at the launch pad when a lightning hit a water tower near the launch pad but according to reports, the shuttle is okay and unharmed.

Most likely the last liftoff of space shuttle Atlantis will be put on a standoff and the closing of NASA’s 30-year space shuttle program will be delayed for at least another day if the weather is not cooperating. Space shuttle launch time at 11:26 am looks dismal with the forecast of only 30% chance of acceptable weather, reports said.

Despite the bad forecast (whether rain or shine), I’m sure many would still flock around the area of Cape Canaveral to witness the final space shuttle mission which is carrying a year’s worth of provisions for the international space station. Atlantis will be on a 12-day voyage and if the space shuttle launch will go on schedule, it will be back at Kennedy Space Center by 20 July which also coincides with man’s first touchdown on the moon.

Once Atlantis is put on retirement, it will be displayed at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex for its final resting place.
