Kennedy Space Center, Florida




It's been a while since Hearsay pounded the road, but this trip was not one to be missed. Hearsay had the chance to visit the flight deck of the space shuttle Atlantis.

The orbiter flew STS-135, the last shuttle mission ever. It also did the first several dockings with the Russian space station Mir, as well as the final servicing flight to the Hubble Space Telescope.

Hearsay escorted Lee and Rodney Casstevens to the famed Niagra Falls recently. None of them, however, attempted to go over the falls in a barrel or to walk across them on a tightrope.

Tanzania, Africa

Hearsay is continuing his world travels, this time in Tanzania, Africa! Stephanie Mathis is a friend of the family, and she served as a missionary in the country. Thanks to Stephanie and her fiance, Steven Berbec, for taking care of Hearsay during his most recent adventure!

Here's Hearsay in a town square, trying to figure out the way home.
