My Christmas was wonderful 'Face, thanks for asking.

How about yours? :)

[Monkey Face]

It would have been really awesome if you had adopted me sooner...however, I'll be toasting my new family with mimosas every chance I get!! :o]

It wa spretty good...quiet, but good.

Did you have your boys?

The acceleration begins softly, imperceptably.

If one were holding his hand out, he would feel it grow heavier. The trained student of the heavens, observing the changing scene above, would notice the slight differences in the angles of suspension of the Habitats.

No one misses the brilliant flares from the Gas-Cooled Nuclear Reactor/Rocket Engines, as they take turns gently maneuvering the gargantuan rig.

In a counter-rotating Pod on the Thrust Ring, two images are lined up in a viewer. Across the width of the Thrust Ring, parallax gives an accurate measurement function. The controls are locked on the appropriate setting, and the time value dialed in.

Trans-Lunar Insertion, the acceleration maneuver that will take us out of Earth orbit, and on toward the moon, has begun.

See, who needs maps?

My family bumped me from the computer so they could play "Medieval Total War." Everyone needs a hobby, I guess :-).

I'll be off to my low-gravity sleep here in a minute.

Good night, everyone!

I have been working way too hard the last few days!

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and ate lots of fattening stuff and enjoyed some good times with family and friends.

[Tax-chick]

That was subtle.

[Monkey Face]

WHOA! I feel like I could FLY!!!

My late ex- worked on the Skylab and the first space shuttle...(I think one of my kids has all his patches...)

Skylab was after my time. I worked in the wind tunnels, mostly on the shuttle project. The very first test run they were trying to determine the optimum positioning of the Shuttle's several thrust rocket nozzles. The very last test run, several years later, they were testing a plate of the insulator material under the high dynamic (mechanical) stresses anticipated on re-entry.

By today's standards the technology was (almost painfully) primitive -- but those were fun times!

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Night fanfan!

[Tax-chick]

Very sorry to hear that, Bob. Prayers up!

[Monkey Face]

And you got 11611 in the process! I hope your low-gravity sleep is deepo and undisturbed...

[MEG33]

Prayers for Sherri going up.
