Did anyone watch the launch of our next program?
That thing is big and powerful. A local connection for me is that my neighbor is a NASA engineer and has a satellite aboard the capsule. Its to study growth affect in deep space. He is the flight manager for the program. He actually brought a model (full scale) home one day and showed me. About the size of a old VCR which will have solar panels unfold from it. It will be launched enroute I think he said. It has compressed gas for direction correction. He's at NASA Ames now for a few days while its is in the initial stages of his effort.
On to the moon.
