Today’s the day…. it’s about that time… the event everyone in the Southwest is talking about…T minus three hours until astronaut Buzz Aldrin leads the ceremonial first walk on the Grand Canyon Skywalk.  When contracted to help “christen” the innovative but controversial attraction at Grand Canyon West, Aldrin apparently joked about bringing a parachute.  I wonder if he actually will.  Aldrin will be joined by another retired astronaut, John Herrington, a Chickasaw Indian who rode aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavor in 2002.

So would YOU walk on it?  Take a look at these pictures and judge for yourself…
