Join the adventure and celebrate the launch as Astronaut Rick Mastracchio packs a Travel Bug along on his 6 month mission aboard the International Space Station. He’ll use the Travel Bug as a tool to teach students back on earth about geography and science. The launch is currently scheduled for 11:08 pm EST on November 6th. The "Related Web Page" link (just above the coordinates.) should take you to the NASA web site to view the launch.
Everyone who attends an official event on November 6 or 7 will earn the Geocaching in Space souvenir. In typical CVGA fashion, there will be a low-key outdoor gathering in Westchester Commons starting at 7 pm and lasting until 8 pm (or until the last person is done chewing the fat with fellow geocachers).
