What to know #NASATweetup & STS-132

If you've been paying any attention you know that tomorrow I will be leaving for #NASATweetup for the STS-132 shuttle mission. What exactly does all of that mean? Well NASA is again graciously hosting 150 of their randomly selected Twitter followers at Kennedy Space Center for the launch of the shuttle mission STS-132. The tweetup itself consists of speakers, a VIP tour of Kennedy Space Center, and access to viewing of the launch itself at the Press Site, as close as anyone is allowed to get. As mentioned before I was selected for this opportunity and it's the fulfillment of a long time dream.

If you would like to follow along, and hopefully you will, below are the links I usally use to keep track of missions, hopefully you will find them useful as well.
