This is Serious

One of the things I need to do before I move to a small island in the Pacific Ocean is sell my car.
I don't think it makes sense to make payments and pay insurance on it for two years while it's in storage.

Who knows what I may decide to do after Kwajalein, maybe it will be longer than two years, I don't really know.

I can always get another car. (I do love this one though)

The Takeover

Yesterday was my first day back at work after the Peruvian adventure.

We were handed our new employment packets from the new owners, complete with job application as we all have to reapply for our current positions. In the meeting held to allay every one's fears, we were told that nothing was going to change but we are all on 180 day probation which means that any of us could get dropped at any moment.

I wish I didn't have to go with the new company at all but I can't really make it two months with no income, especially after my trip. Plus, I have no idea if the December 1st deadline is even doable; that seems pretty fast considering how long everything else has taken.

I'll be discussing my options with a friend who works as an employment law attorney, just to see....

Following Orders

I just had to post this......

One of the things I was told I would need to take with me to the island was a green shirt to wear on launch days.

I don't have one so I was browsing around online when I found this little number:
Engineers do it in Stages
LOL! Do you think I'll make any friends with this?
(My title will be Engineer 1)

Another Success!

I'm catching up on things from my extended vacation and I was excited to learn that Flight 4 of the Falcon 1 successfully launched and achieved Earth orbit!

According to the SpaceX website, this success makes the Falcon 1 the first privately developed liquid fuel rocket to orbit the Earth. Impressive.
