"Cyberspace"
Mar 22, 2008
'We just passed over the Himalayas and are en-route to Australia! The views today have been fantastic . . .,'' Gorie wrote in a ''Hello Earthlings'' e-mail he sent to friends from his days at Miami Palmetto.
That's from Gorie -- the shuttle commander of Endeavour.
That is the sort of thing -- along with an e-mail address that ends in mail.nasa.gov -- that attracts attention when it hits your inbox.
'Guess it gives new meaning to the term 'cyberspace,' '' said Mike Pedersen, 51, a former Miami Palmetto classmate and wrestling team partner who received two e-mails from Gorie since his friend blasted into space March 11.
''It reminds you that, gosh, our country still does some amazing feats,'' Pedersen said. "To get an e-mail like that is just amazing.''
