Tomorrow we drive to Minnesota for my son’s college orientation, our first real road test. Nine hundred and thirty eight miles, the oracles at Google tell us we’ll be on the road for 13 hours and 45 minutes. Unfortunately, they… Read More ›
Discovery
My semi-fictionalized adventures aboard the NCC-39R Discovery as myself, my co-pilot, and our fearless science officer (he failed his security exams) travel into parts unknown…
Working Holiday – Shuttle Bay Options for Discovery
Throughout this process I had intended to take pictures and, ambitiously, even considered a video. What I ended up with was one very drab photo which is probably for the best. (I’m not sure our antics overlayed with a sustained censor BLEEEEEEEEEEP would’ve been all that useful.)
