Level 9 Tour

Howdy Folks,


I went to NASA Space Center Houston. We did a level  9 VIP  tour, That was  the most amazing thing ever!  Its about $90 but it worth ever penny. You get a cool looking badge that says VIP all access pass.  We got on a nice cool van and went to the see the  Saturn V rocket. It was blasting out so we did a quick tour of that and went to go get lunch. We ate lunch where the astronauts and staff eat in NASA, it was whatever you want to get you can! After lunch we took the van off campus to the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory , It a giant pool that they practice being weightless. After that we went to see the new and old Mission controls, that was amazing. We went to get really old Mission control where most the Gemini and Apollo Missions where.  After that we went  and got to climb up into an  cockpit  where they do simulations. We finished up at the training center, where the space station is set up. Usually if you do the tram tour you you just walk the cat walk, but since did the VIP tour we went down to the ground and got to see things up close, like the robotics area  and the Orion.

In all it was the most amazing 4-5 hours tour you could do! I learn so much stuff, that  I need to go back again so I can process more! You guys really should go ! Here are a few photos from the tour.

Uhura's New Away Mission

On September 17, 2015 actress Nichelle Nichols, best known for her role as Lt. Uhura on "Star Trek: The Original Series", will be joining the crew of the SOFIA aircraft. SOFIA, or Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy, is a modified Boeing 747 outfitted with a 100-inch telescope used to look at the universe during the flight and is meant to complement the Hubble Space Telescope and other orbital telescopes.

Nichols, 82, suffered a mild stroke in June and has made a resilient recovery over the past couple of months and is looking forward to the coming mission. She has been an active advocate for NASA, serving as an astronaut recruit in the 1970s and 1980s to encourage women and minorities to join the space program, and participated in a similar flight in 1977 on the first airborne observatory, the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO) - a modified Lockheed C-141 Starlifter - which began operation in 1974.

Nichols intends to use StarPower, a site that enables celebrities to raise money for charities, to live share the event.

Hello Geeks!


So I did it again, I forgot to write something. I really should get back into the groove. I went a con last weekend, and in the process of writing about it but well  I ran out time. I will have ready to go when my turn comes around again!

Here are some of the photos that happen that weekend,

Wasting Time

John Lennon once said, "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time." Simply put, as long as you're doing something you enjoy, no matter how small and minuscule it may seem, it's worth it.

We've all been there: you don't have a lot of time to work with to start something ambitious, but you don't want to squander it either. Here are some of my favorite little time-wasters:

• Agar.io - in Agari.io you play as a tiny little cell. The object is to eat the little spots to grow bigger and, eventually, eat other cells smaller than you without getting yourself eaten instead. However, beware the spiky green viruses! If you're bigger that one and you drift across it, you'll be split into multiple smaller cells. Other cells can also shoot part of their mass through them to "infect" you and cause the same effect.
• QWOP - in QWOP you play as a marathon runner. Using the Q, W, O, and P buttons you must attempt to advance your runner as far as you can without tripping and falling.
• Finger Sketch Paint - this works with a mouse/track-pad or a touchscreen. You can doodle to your heart's content. Colors and styles are interchangeable; select the Eraser option or refresh the page for a clean slate.
• Software Library: MS-DOS Games - The Oregon Trail, Pac-Man, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?, and various other titles appeal to the gamers of decades past.
• Silk - Silk is a click-and-drag art generator. Colors are interchangeable and can be blended, and symmetry and mirroring can be adjusted.
• Find the Invisible Cow - This one is exactly what it sounds like. Audio needs to be on to hear the clues, and the longer you play, the more animals you unlock.

And my all-time favorite time-waster: StumbleUpon. StumbleUpon is a site that lets you "stumble" through various web pages based on your interest settings. You give thumbs-up to the ones you like and want to visit again later and thumbs-down to the ones you're not too keen on. Caution: stumbling can be a MAJOR time-waster and is recommended for when you have quite a bit of spare time, or if you're looking for interesting ideas (e.g. crafts, technology, writing, etc.).

SPACE CITY COMIC CON

This after the con, I will doing a Behind the scene tour of NASA!  I've had friend who done this tour and they told it is amazing! So looked out for photos. I will be live tweeting the whole weekend and Snapchat hopefully!

'Con Man' trailer arrives - and it's even better than any of us dared to hope!

PAST:

All through the month of March Alan Tudyk, Nathan Fillion, and PJ Haarsma campaigned all across social media for a new project: 'Con Man'. The goal: to make a webseries depicting a comedic version of what life is like on the other side of the table for actors at conventions for a mere $425,000.

The reality: with the aid of 46,000 generous fans (myself included), 'Con Man' raised a whopping $3,156,179 through their Indiegogo campaign. They've spent the entire month of June filming the series, with anyone donating $15 or more gaining exclusive access to the behind-the-scenes Hang w/ sessions.

PRESENT:

San Diego Comic-Con, renown for its large crowds and even larger media announcements, kicked off on Thursday, July 9th. The 'Con Man' crew were there in Hall H with a huge little gift: the official trailer for the series.

Con Man - Trailer from Con Man Web Series on Vimeo.

FUTURE:

'Con Man' is set to premier on Vimeo in September 2015 with a slew of cameos, including some of Alan and Nathan's former 'Firefly' cast mates as well as PJ's daughter Skylar. This is definitely one show you won't want to miss.

Happy Independence day

Happy Fourth July ! For my Fellow Americans!
