Geocache Description:


You don’t read the words, “We’re going to space!” very often. So, how about we soak up the joy of reading those words once more? Let’s add a little pizzazz and shout it by using all capital letters: “WE’RE GOING TO SPACE!” Yeah! A Geocaching Travel Bug® is hitching a ride with astronaut Rick Mastracchio straight to the International Space Station. The mission is currently scheduled to launch from Kazakhstan at 4:08 GMT on November 7, which is November 6 at 8:08 p.m. in San Diego. Rick will live aboard the ISS for 6 months. He plans to use the Travel Bug as a tool to teach students on Earth, in his home state of Connecticut, about geography and science. He’ll also earn the Solar System’s most elusive smiley and find the International Space Station geocache. We’ll be following Rick the whole way, beginning at liftoff.

Ready for some more pizzazz? Geocaching HQ will issue a Geocaching in Space souvenir to those who attend this Event!! We will have a projector and a laptop so You can watch the launch live.

For more information on Geocaching in Space and Rick’s mission, visit the Geocaching in Space FAQ . Check out this vintage Geocaching video of the first Travel Bug journey to space.
