Sweet Home Californie

Back to the log cabin in California. Florida is already a mirage. Total days in Cocoa Beach this year totaled 146. Oi. As far as I know the hangar queen is progressing nominally. Sha-weet. I got numerous calls and txts while stuck in FL. Mostly from the wif, but also from my most wonderful nieces.

However, I did receive a special note, with pictures, addressed specifically to me and hand delivered by Mrs. LK from my numba one nephew. Maraming salamat sa pamagkin ko. I love you Justin.


For anyone that gives a poop the following pictures describe what I have spent the last 6 years of my life making sure worked and were ready to be catapulted into space. The satellite on the left is a depiction of the three satellites I had a hand in launching in the past two years. The satellite on the right, though similar, is what I hopefully will be working on for the next 5 to 6 years. Go Wideband!

These are just a tad overdue, but oh well. I didn't take these since we weren't that close. One of the guys I work with here in Florida took them. He was that close. Lucky bastard.









Here is where the two solid rocket boosters separate from the external fuel tank after their job is done. These will actually be retrieved after they land in the ocean.



I've got video too that I'll post up, but I don't want to spend all day uploading it over my Verizon pc card. When I get in to work next week I'll upload it then over their fast connection.

Yes I took that picture. It was about a hundred yards away at the time.
