Monitor On A Mission

One time our baby monitor just about gave me a heart attack when I heard what I thought was my baby crying, and then another voice comforting the child... when I was home alone. Turns out I had picked up someone else's monitor- I am sure this has happened before. Maybe even getting a trucker's "10-4 Good Buddy" once in a while. Nothing all that exciting.

But, a mother in Palatine has an out-of-this-world (so to speak) story to tell. Since Sunday, Natalie Meilinger's baby monitor has been picking up black-and-white video from inside the space shuttle Atlantis! You can read the article here.

I only wonder what else can be seen and heard on baby monitors around the world... and if she can see inside the space shuttle, who is viewing her baby?
