Touring Kennedy

Model of ISS at completion (Note: Its actually missing one of the solar arrays).


VAB up close


Looking up in the VAB… some 500 feet up. This picture doesn’t do it justice, you have to see it for yourself.


This a picture of the underside of the Mobile Launch Platform (MLP) as it sits in the VAB. This captures the scale: the top of the picture is the bottom of the MLP; underneath you can see standard equipment and how small it looks.


Bottom side of the Orbiter and effect of re-entry on the thermal tiles.


Underside of the Orbiter, surrounded by much equipment, sitting in the Orbiter Processing Facility (OPF)


Saturn V rocket… is big.


Saturn V crew module.

Whew hoo

That was painful. Migrated site to new web host. Apparently WordPress did not like this. But that may just have been that I failed to have a local copy of the theme I was using. I think everything is back to normal.

In other news. I bought a new camera, a FujiFilm S700. You can see the quality of the new camera as the picture of the old camera, which looks better, was taken with the new camera.

The Kodak has seen more than 3,500 photos. Rest in peace(s). :)

The most enjoyable part of my day is the minute between exiting my car and entering my workplace. Its cool, theres a slight breeze, its very quiet, and nothing is demanded of me. For a moment.

Go get an associate

Published by Matt under Thoughts

I am tired of random people at Walmart asking me to get an item off the top shelf for them. What do I look like, an associate? Just because I’m tall doesn’t mean I want to you to interrupt my shopping to service your needs.

“Your welcome.”

[Edit: 4/6] This is sarcasm if you can’t tell. I really don’t mind, I just thought it would be fun to point out.

Over thinking

Published by Matt under Thoughts

There is one thing worse than not realizing what you have until its gone; that is to not realize what you had until at some point in the future when it hits you like you just stepped on a rake.
