The title of this post conjures up multiple thoughts. No – we don’t want to send Rachel to outer space because of some misdemeanor behavior though. Since she was big enough to talk, every year on her birthday she and her daddy make the same wish: “We want to go to outer space.” It is becoming a realistic possibility for the rich and Jonathan has been researching it. He has been tweeting and emailing to make Rachel the first person with Down syndrome to go to outer space. This weekend he ramped it up a bit with this video. I hope you enjoy!
So I learned today from Sir Richard Branson’s post today http://www.virgin.com/richard-branson/the-youngest-astronaut-%E2%80%93-and-the-oldest you have to be 18 to travel to space so we have some time to plan and it will be at least another year before the first VirginGalatic flight so plenty of time to lobby.
