I'm going to space and so can YOU!!!!

Just sign up for your name to be included on the list to be launched in 2009 with the Kepler spacecraft into orbit around the Sun. It's the closest I'm ever going to get (or particularly want to get) to going into space and I've got a certificate saying I'm goooooooing...


Kepler Mission: A search for habitable planets

Reminds me of the movie, Gladys Glover, with Judy Holiday and William Holden. :)

Was "Born Yesterday" the one with the giant billboard? Now I can't remember. But the movie did have a giant billboard, and Holiday's character-name was Gladys Glover. She had her name plastered everywhere, and ended up becoming a huge celebrity. It was a funny movie.

Judy Holiday was cute.

Oh, god, but I'm feeling my age...

Nope. Just checked. That billboard is in It Should Happen to You.

And it was with Peter Lawford, not William Holden. Holden was in "Born Yesterday". "It Should Happen To You" was a better film, in my opinion.
