Some time away from the lathe...

That dang gainful employment drug me away from the lathe for a week.
Well, I suppose can think of worse places to visit!



That's me at the entrance to the Johnson Space Center Mission Control building. The company I joined in November has a few contracts with NASA and I finally got to go down for one of the jobs. If you ever have the chance, it's a neat place to visit.

I've been to there at least 3 times. Pretty cool place.

Actually, hoping to put together a "moon rock" Jr Emporer!

Wow, if that were possible it would be one expensive pen[]

[stevers]

Would it be weightless?

 

[martyb]

Don't know about weightless. But very expensive and illegal. I believe that private possession of lunar material is prohibited.
