"We shall individually be held responsible for doing one jot less than we have ability to do...But when we give ourselves wholly to God, and in our work follow His directions, He makes Himself responsible for its accomplishment. He would not have us conjecture as to the success of our honest endeavors. Not once should we even think of failure. We are to cooperate with One who knows no failure." ~Messages to Young People, p. 309

Getting Ready for the Final Flight



Here's a really cool four-minute video which shows STS-135 astronauts Chris Ferguson, Doug Hurley, Rex Walheim, and Sandy Magnus go through the TCDT (or Terminal Countdown Demonstration Test) for their mission. TCDT occurs just a few weeks before the planned launch day, and gives astronauts time to complete a practice countdown, landings, and emergency procedures.

For all those who are planning on watching the final launch of the Space Shuttle program, it's planned to occur at 11:26am on July 8, 2011. As always, you can watch it on NASA TV.

P.S.--Remember, come to my actual blog to view this video.
