    2023 RIP Thread

    Man, losing those two pioneers so close together has been rough for a Space nerd like me. Mattingly played such a big role in getting XIII back and got a mission of his own as CMP before flying on the Shuttle. Borman spent a lot of time in space for his two missions. Two weeks with Jim Lovell...

    Science: Space - the final frontier (Misc.)

    I was at KSC yesterday without realizing there was a scheduled launch. I was wondering why the parking lot seemed fuller and there was a longer than usual line to enter before it occurred to me there was a scheduled launch. Fortunately it seemed most of the extra folks were already at the...

    Question: What Is 1 Food You Can't Stand?

    To be fair, I only ate it once, a decade ago, and have had neither the opportunity nor desire to try it again. It was the night of the 2013 IB and had it not already gone rancid the next morning, I would have suggested chunking the carcass out of the car as we were traveling back home through...

    Question: What Is 1 Food You Can't Stand?

    I’ve eaten some, um, interesting things in my day having traveled to Japan and Ghana. I mean I had a grasscutter (greater cane rat) stew in Ghana which wasn’t actually bad, if you got beyond the fact you’re essentially eating roadkilled rodent. In Japan I had a weird gelatin cup with raw...

    Question: What Is 1 Food You Can't Stand?

    I’ve had durian before and I didn’t think it was that bad with the caveat that you have a narrow window to eat it before it goes rancid.

    Brag On Your Kid(s)

    My niece (last name blacked out for obvious reasons) leading the Pledge of Allegiance at her HS graduation on Saturday evening. Couldn’t make it, so I had to catch it on the HS’s Facebook account. I was so proud to see her graduate, and have such a prominent role not only in the ceremony...

    Science: Space - the final frontier (Misc.)

    Took the kids over to Cape Canaveral today. Had a really good time. Lots of cool artifacts. The actual Launch Command Center as used for Apollo 8 Jim Lovell’s flight suit from Apollo 13 Apollo 14’s command module. I would definitely go back (and plan to, I had a 2 day pass and we bought my...

    NCAA 1st Round General Thread

    I have a brother in law who is a UVA alumnus. (He and my sister live just outside Charlottesville). He’s happy they’re not the only #1 seed to lose to a 16 now.

    Brag On Your Kid(s)

    Not my kid, obviously, but my niece will be starting at Bama in the Fall, with a substantial scholarship. Not 100% because her academics, while good, aren’t scholarship worthy but my gosh, she made up for it with her extracurriculars: camp counselor, life guard, SGA at County High in...

    What are you listening to (Music) V

    Found this original 1972 release of the 1966 album in a used book store a couple of months back. In near mint condition, I’m not sure it was ever played until I bought it.

    Science: Space - the final frontier (Misc.)

    shots of a couple recent launches from my back yard. Didn’t get a good one of a nighttime launch where the eastern sky lit up a bright orange as if the sun was coming up at 8:30pm. Really like going outside to see them and when the hour isn’t offensive taking my kids outside to see them too...

    How was your President's Day weekend?

    Took my kids to the STEM Fest at the Orlando Science Center on Monday. It was unexpectedly slow that day because the public schools used Presidents Day as a Hurricane Ian/Nicole make up day. (My kids attend a private school).
