NewsBusters contributor, Rick Sanchez nemesis, and admitted "space travel geek" Matthew Balan is at the Kennedy Space Center today as one of a few lucky Twitter contestants selected by NASA to watch and live-tweet this afternoon's launch of Shuttle Atlantis.

Mr. Balan was thrilled beyond belief when he found out a few weeks ago that he was selected for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and we're quite happy for him.
