The seventh annual Space Exploration Celebration (counting the first six Apollo / Saturn V Reunion events, before the renaming) was a great success this past Friday evening. Thanks to recent events, the requisite “State of the Union” of NASA/MSFC was not as depressing as it could have been. Marshall Space… Continue reading
Tonight I went cruising by Space Camp’s website, looking for a digital copy of the 2010 brochure, as I have yet to get hold of a hard copy for the year. Boy was I disappointed to find this sorry excuse of a program guide. It’s a tri-fold brochure, effectively two… Continue reading
