04/08/09: We Have Lift-Off!!!
Exclusive NASA video of the start of Bella's first mission.
According to NASA engineers, a previously moth-balled Apollo rocket was used for this mission since there was only one astronaut aboard. Undisclosed sources indicate that the economy and budgetary constraints may have also played a role. Bella's parents main concern was that in the future Bella may only be able to fall asleep while strapped into an Apollo size rocket. The space shuttle would never do!
More to come!
