If you get National Geographic Channel....

And you're in the US, tonight at 9 p.m. ET they're showing an episode of "World's Toughest Fixes" that is about the launch of my most recent satellite.

I have no idea if it'll be any good, I wasn't at the launch site while they were filming, but just thought I'd share.

Wow tk, that's pretty cool!!

terpkristin · 06-04-2009, 09:02 PM

OK, I have NO idea why they're doing the military training with the launch stuff but that's alright.

w00t! Kristen on my television (at least parts of her brain).

Since you're famous, I'm now legally authorized to throw my underwear at you and scream whenever I see you.

(So I'll stop mailing them to you and demanding you write me back. You can call off the restraining orders.)

I LOVE how they're hyping it up as so dangerous.

I mean, it is, but if you're smart and stay aware, you're going to be OK. And as long as you wear the right clothes for the clean room and for the fueling ops and know how to use your protective equipment, it's really not nearly as dramatic as they make it sound...

But my satellite is still pretty.

thats honestly pretty damn impressive and awesome tk. w00t

terpkristin · 06-04-2009, 10:00 PM

I'm glad they showed the launch. However, my program manager I think will be annoyed they showed her on the TV.

Anyway, they overdramatized it but I still enjoyed it.
