Cool little Houston-related blurb.

M.D. Anderson doc tweeting from space - Houston Chronicle

Dr. Robert L. Satcher, Jr., the mission's medical officer, is a physician at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Satcher is an orthopaedic oncologist (bone cancer specialist), who goes by the Twitter handle Astro_Bones. He'll be tweeting during the 13-day mission, which includes three space walks on the International Space Station.

Satcher, 44, sent his first tweet Wednesday morning: "Launch was amazing! 7.7 millions pounds of thrust, mach 25, microgravity in less than 9 minutes! Awesome."

Very cool--wonder how much that little trip is costing us. I forget, We have money to burn, so no problem.
