    One's being built, one's renders.

    And the raptor sekrit sauce.

    She'll be back up in a few days. Redundancy is the name of the game. That said, her days are numbered and I would be surprised if the telescope makes it to the end of the decade.

    Now, if they can ever get the JW launched. Too bad it doesn't have the color imaging capabilities that Hubble does.

    I helped support Boeing's loading of Hydrazine and Oxidizer onto Starliner this week. It went pretty smooth.

    No pictures allowed anywhere but the loading op took place in the old Orbiter Processing Facility where shuttle was processed back in the day. Boeing spares no expense, they treat us great. Their toolboxs that they use on Starliner, for guys that are familiar with 5s and 6s processes, are absolutely unbelieveable. Fully electronic, scan your badge, tap the screen to request a thin 3/8 crows foot, unlocks and opens that drawer only. The ultimate in tool accountability.

    I would love to have that kind of accountability at work. It might slow some things down but totally worth it.

    SLS(Orion capsule) will use UDMH as well. I don't pretend to understand the logic of Boeing's engineers. If it's not broke, dont fix it?

    Anyone else watch the pre-launch client videos? There was another post launch one this time about the GPS-III improved capabilities:
    New civil channel,
    Improved anti-jamming
    More robust something and my favorite

    GPS-III is a WARFIGHTING system.

    Rumor has it the Falcon 9 X is launching Thursday the 24th will return and land at KSC. That will be something to see.
