The coolest Christmas tree ever! At a pre-launch party at the home of our friend Kandy, whose first NASA job was scheduling T-38 planes for the astronauts, I got to pose with this tree decorated with space shuttle mission patches that have all been flown into space and then given to Kandy afterward. The room is full of space memorabilia and photos signed by shuttle astronauts and crew.
