When something surprises us (Turn on your headphones or speakers)





Pour ceux qui m'ont entendu parler espagnol du Salvador, vous allez constater finalement que ce n'est pas juste mon accent. C'est le vrai accent salvadorien et les vraies expressions d'un pays où on chante quand on parle. Je ne connais pas les gens qui parlent dans les vidéos...je les ai trouvé en youtube par hasard.

Salvadoriens expressions in the a normal surprise context. Those who are in the videos are unknown people, I mean that I don't know who they are.

Endeavour said hi



The landing transborder was visible at 9:20 PM up up up in salvadoreans sky. It seems that it was visible from only a few countries in the region. El Salvador, a tiny part of Guatemala, Belize and Mexico were the only american witnesses of the landing of this 7.5 million mile mission transborder. Since there are only 4 more flights for these NASA spaceships ...and since is the first time we are able to watch these kind of "cosmic" things from this side of the world (at least the first time for my generation) I think it's the right moment to say outloud: "Cooooooooooool" and also to think in greatness of humanity and to make our dreams touch other galaxies.

Incredible white silent line in the sky/
big-pretty-fast-white-sparkle flying through the stars/
What a great and unespected show for a sunday night/

I'll try to post soon some landing photos...those I've posted, except the last one, are some images during the launching on february 8th in Houston, USA.




Maybe not the best video but it's the only we got in the web untill now. Poor guy he was kinda trembling huh?
Here's too a copy of La Prensa Gráfica's graphic of Endeavour's landscape


Yep! we were lucky.

I am conscious that it is only a simple spaceship of big-powerfull-really-rich super countries and that it does represent a big demonstration of power while there are some countries with people and entire nations who are needing the US$ 100,000 millions used on that International Space Station (IEE), visited by the Endeavour Transborder. But I also believe that this kind of moments and phenomenons shows ourselves how great we are and where can we get to if we really believe. Despite all odds and obstacles. It is possible once we believe it is.
