I forgot to mention, last night when I got home it was just in time to watch the Atlantis launch via web stream; Travis had it running when I got home, watching and waiting. It was pretty amazing to watch right through from launch prep to final separation. It’s incredible to think that in just… Read more

For project we’re expected to keep, and are marked on, a log book. Now, I’m all for taking notes of things; everything within reach of my desk has crap… Read more
