Recently, Glenn Research Center (GRC) celebrated their 50th anniversary. See if you can find me in the picture. Hint: I'm not dressed like Waldo, but if I had known about the picture ahead of time.....
An observer with the right military background might notice the two S-3 Viking aircraft at the top of the picture. I don't know what their function is, though. During Hurricane Ike, there were several E-2 Hawkeye aircraft that came in for a day or two. They were deployed for weather monitoring as the hurricane came ashore.
I got to see them shipping some of the rocket sections for the Ares I-X one day. That seems like an interesting project, and one that is keeping jobs here at GRC.
If it wasn't for Wikipedia, my blog entries would me pretty damn boring!
Oh yeah, today is Tess's birthday. She's 91 today. I've got a little party planned for her for tomorrow at Mitchell's. Hopefully, I'll have some pictures to post from that.
