I worked for NASA at both the Cape and at JPL designing, building, testing, and flying interplanetaries. Later I worked on Space Station at GSFC and JSC. :-)

Currently I am doing government work.

The Atlantis astronauts inspected the shuttle's wing leading edge panels and nose cap today as part of a now-standard post-Columbia checkout and while additional observations and analysis will take several more days to complete, no obvious signs of damage were seen.


The launch shed some materials but late enough in the flight that they presented little relative velocity and did negligible damage.

I passed a sign the other day that read...

"God put you here for a purpose. Find it."

Apparently you have.

Nice to meet you.
Thank you for your contribution to humanity.

:-)

Have you run into the little sonofabitch anywhere around the Cape?
