Hahahaha! Maybe a bit too close to the truth.

  1. I guess we should give her credit, she was watching the launch. Scott Manley was telling the youtuber's that were invited to the Cape that they should watch the launch instead of spending their time watching their devices record the launch because they could watch everyone's recordings later.

  3. A valid criticism only if that's the only image on her phone of the launch.
    I thought the photo expressed her excitement and joy nicely.
    But next time bring a kid with you and image them, especially if it's the first time they've seen a live launch.

  5. Her focus is emotion, not facts

  6. Peripheral claim to Artemis fame.....

    #2Son-in-Law is a NASA engineer and the definition of a nerd. When he has spoken about what it is that he does, most of it comes out like the teacher in one of those Charlie Brown skits.

    Anyway, one of the things that I think that I understand about his work has to do with communicating with Mars. This is a huge challenge, but he's found a way to make it workable, and the patent for this tech bears his name.

    So last week he became somewhat of a NASA engineer-rock star (a contradiction in terms, if I've ever seen one) because it was his comms tech that allowed the incredible pictures and video from Artemis to be so quickly transmitted to us.

    I'll quit bragging now.

    2. I live in the Houston area about 3 miles from NASA. Drive past it every day. One of my friends from Church works there as an engineer. Since I'm an engineer too (plastics), I asked him if working in the space program was exciting. He just deadpanned "No. It's engineering. It's just as boring as your job."
