ooooooh, hey Corpse, you should drop MS a line, maybe they can use that to hit back in the Mac vs PC ads

"well Mac, I didn't notice you at the last launch, weren't you invited?"

I think this was the one of the other Tweetiot feeds he mentioned

Which is why I still use Windows XP.

between my junior and senior years of high school, I did a month long internship at Johnson Space Center.


We got to drive a couple of the simulators, including the landing simulator...after everyone in my group had a go, I asked if I could do something special.....a barrel roll.

The guy didn't think it would work, but let me try anyways.


Ladies and Gentlemen, I did a barrel roll in the Space Shuttle Atlantis.


Well, I did the barrel roll, was coming in for the landing...everyone was cheering and in awe at the fact I actually pulled it off, and I crashed FOURTEEN FUCKING FEET BEFORE THE RUNWAY!


But about the JSC internship in general, we were in the same building as both mission controls (can't remember the number....12? 5?) and worked under a man named Tony Bruins. It was prolly one of the best month's of my life.

They are now approximately 1 hour into the first space walk of the mission. Laggy's user is currently on this space walk

Few reports about the STS-129 crew that launched Monday on the Space Shuttle Atlantis have mentioned that Dr. Robert L. Satcher, Jr., the mission's medical officer, is a physician at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston.

Though his Houston affiliation isn't mentioned on the NASA biography (allegedly updated in June), the Harvard Medical School graduate joined M.D. Anderson's faculty in February 2007, a center official confirmed.

Satcher is an orthopaedic oncologist (bone cancer specialist), who goes by the Twitter handle Astro_Bones. He'll be tweeting during the 13-day mission, which includes three space walks on the International Space Station.

Satcher, 44, sent his first tweet Wednesday morning: "Launch was amazing! 7.7 millions pounds of thrust, mach 25, microgravity in less than 9 minutes! Awesome."

And in case his last name sounds familiar, yes — he's the nephew of former surgeon general Dr. David Satcher and his father, Robert L. Satcher Sr., is the president of St. Paul's College in Virginia. The Houston astronaut and fellow mission specialist, Leland D. Melvin, are being celebrated on the school's web site for their ties to the historically black college.

Satcher's wife practices in Houston, too. Dr. D'Juanna White-Satcher, a pediatrician, joined the Baylor College of Medicine faculty in July 2006.

She's not available for an interview right now, but MedBlog hopes to catch up with both of them after Dr. Astro_Bones returns to Earth.
