Unfortunately, no, I'm not a Shuttle astronaut. But I've been considering eventually joining the Astronaut corps after the Air Force. I do help document shuttle activities for nasaspaceflight.com, though.
I was on the KSC property the day before STS-135. It was more than cool to be able to see the final time an orbiter, and my favorite Space Shuttle, would be on the launch pad ever again.
How many launches have you attended?
