NASA Tweetup for STS-129: Day 2
@MarkSands and I in front of Countdown Clock We’re here. We’re actually here. It is launch day for STS-129, the next to last launch of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. We settled into our seats at T-3 hours and holding, waiting for the crew to head out the vehicle and load up and get locked in (a new meaning for load & lock?) It is a fair day here in

NASA Tweetup for STS-129: Day 1
STS-129 Tweetup It’s morning and none of us have had enough coffee, but the approximately 100 of us in a conference room in the Rocket part are wide awake. Jon Cowart, Ares 1X deputy mission director, is currently going from table to table asking us to identify mystery items in a run morning mixer. Earlier this morning (which at 8:18am is a scary concept), after checking in and getting badges and goody bags

While most of us in the room had alarms set off to go off at noon to register for this special event, it wasn’t yet noon, and in a rush of adrenaline and typing we went to the sign in page and used are various autocomplete software to fill out the sign up page as soon as possible.

Of Bacon and Erdos
And now for something entirely silly I have an Erdos Number of no more than 6. For certain: Wheeler (3) -> Shetron -> Lambert->Me (I suspect it’s actually 1 lower because Lamber published A LOT, but I haven’t found the path yet) My Bacon number is no more than 4 Kevin Bacon -> Maud Winchester -> Edward Olmos -> Kevin Grazier -> Me (and I expect it is 1 lower because on a show as big as BSG, someone must have a Bacon number of 1) Sooooo… My Erdos-Bacon number is thus 10 (but probably 8).

A week to look up: LCROSS Impact and White House Star Party
This Week Only: White House Star Party and LCROSS Impact As a 1 year long event, IYA2009 has worked hard to provide a steady stream of events. That said, some weeks are more interesting than others, and this week is shaping up to be one of those more interesting weeks. On October 7, Mr and Mrs Obama will host a star party at the US White House, and
