It takes a change of culture, of the mode of reactions to circumstances, to effect a change of habit. Genetics is the progeny of culture, not vice versa. This applies in ALL fields of human activit. . .Read More

About to watch the vid, reading some comments first. The Quantum Universe by Brian Cox and Jeff Forshaw is a fun read, btw. However, in reading arguments by commentators, some show ignorance. . .Read More

SpaceX has had an incredible mission. They completed the preliminary maneuvers near the ISS, and were cleared to go ahead and get close enough to the station for the robotic arm to be able to grab hold of it. This was all successfully done, and the Dragon Capsule was brought in to dock with the station, making history, by being the first ever commercial company to both fly to space and reenter Earth's atmosphere, and berth with the ISS. The mission will come to an end in several days, when the Dragon Capsule will be released from ISS, returned to Earth for a splash down landing in the ocean, and be recovered for reuse.

Success!!! The Falcon 9 launched successfully at 3:44am EST May 22nd. All systems were nominal, stage separation completed nominally, Solar arrays deployed successfully, and the Dragon capsule is now making its way toward the International Space Station. Stay tuned for more mission updates!



Way to go SpaceX!! This is the beginning of a new commercial era in space exploration.

*** Update - The launch was aborted at T-0.5 seconds, due to high chamber pressure in engine #5. Next launch window is May 22nd at 3:44am EST, and another window the following day, May 23rd 3:22am EST. Keep you posted on changes. ***

I've been job hunting for a while. Sent out hundreds of resumes, filled out countless applications, had phone interviews, unofficial meet and greets, official interviews, tests, take home tests.. you know the drill. Nothing seemed to be panning out.

Imagine my surprise as I suddenly found myself with not just one, but two incredible job offers both in the Commercial Space field.

I never understood why people said that when you have too many choices, you end up confused and blankly staring into nowhere.

Now, I do understand.

That is pretty much where I found myself. I mean, come on! Two, incredible job offers, each of which I would have been more than thrilled to take! Both offers arriving within days of each other.. Who could possibly think choices were a good thing?!

I went deep into 'Ponder' mode, and spent about a week there. Yea, sure, it looked like I was right there with you in the same room, partaking in that conversation.. but no, I was not. My mind was a bazillion miles away. Thinking about the alternatives.. Job 1 or Job 2..? Location 1 or location 2..? I must have made up my mind about 500,000 times, and then changed it again. Each time, clearly, had a different outcome. I must have created quite a few alterna . . . More
