  1. @iammdsquared I know you can't easily beat'em, but you can! Ask Miami...
  2. @Astro_Nicole I hope you get some fresh turkey on Friday, kiddo. I'll see you when you get back. I envy your adventure.
  3. @ageekmom Well < i gotta say, th emedia like nice round or cute numbers, but every day is a new record. Happy 3,312th day!
  4. @skywatchweather Hmm, you may be correct - I'll check.
  5. For those of you who don't know, (given equal conditioning) American football is 90% a mental & emotional game. 10% is luck.
  6. After 'schooling' the Dawgs last year (in their house), I am VERY worried. They've got a gigantic chip on their shoulder.
  7. On paper we're better, but that's why you play the game (or launch the test rocket), cuz 'paper' isn't the real world.
  8. On a personal note: I'll be watching my beloved Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets this Saturday against our arch enemy: The Dawgs.
  9. 7 regular years, 2 leap years, and 24 days. In the future we may celebrate Oct 31, 2000 as the day when humans were in space forever.
  10. How many of u realize that since Oct. 31, 2000, there has always been at least 3 humans in space? Haven't missed a day. That's 3,311 days
  11. So here's to my Shuttle & ISS brethren who will be working while America eats turkey, watches football, and gives thanks. Thank YOU.
  12. Even rocket scientists and nerds take a day off and celebrate Thanksgiving, unless, of course, you have astronauts in space, then they work.
  13. @caitlinconstan Thanks.
  14. I spoke to the American Society of Quality last night about Ares I-X. They are a great group on a great mission.
  15. ...so I don't waste the emotional energy.
  16. INPORTANT: It IS just a rumor. My experience says don't get excited. I've been through endless budget rumor cycles...
  17. Rumors are abounding about a possible 10% cut in NASA budget next year. This would be our "reward" for a successful test flight?!?
  18. @zippyg2 "All-up" tests are ALWAYS helpful, but they aren't free and they usually cost you some schedule. And since time = money...
  19. BTW, if you want to read a compelling story, read about the adventures and misadventures of Spirit and Opportunity. That's exciting too.
  20. (so am I)
