What a cool wake-up call! As if floating miles above the Earth on the last space shuttle mission wasn't enough, the crew of Atlantis awoke this morning to a song and message from Sir Paul McCartney.
It's the photo they waited 30 years to take (click to enlarge).
Chris Bray and his father attended the first space shuttle launch back in 1981 -- and the last, just a few weeks ago. Bray posted a link to the photo on Reddit on Monday and the reaction was immediate -- almost 600 comments have been left thus far, and various media outlets have picked up the story.
