This is an event cache celebrating the rocket launch that will take a Geocaching Travel Bug that is hitching a ride with astronaut Rick Mastracchio straight to the International Space Station. Rick will live aboard the ISS for 6 months. He plans to use the Travel Bug as a tool to teach students on Earth, in his home state of Connecticut, about geography and science. It will take place in Kazahkstan on November 7th early in the morning, but 8:08pm on November 6th, PST for us on the west coast. There will be a sign-in sheet to make sure you earn the souvenir attached to this event. Be sure to bring plenty of caching stories to share with friends new and old!
