There…is…a…slow…Internet…connection…today.

While listening to a press conference on NASA TV and estimating how much of the engineering analysis is boiled down for lay reporters, I wonder how soon one of the talking heads (the one in the center) will have a heart attack, his earlobes clearly pinched on the bottom.

My hat’s off to all the personnel involved in the development, politicking, deployment and management of the US Space Shuttle and ISS program from the 1960s to today and beyond.

Meanwhile, I’m amazed at the advancement of medical and astronomical knowledge.

Time to meditate.
