I could smell this coming for a while. Regardless of any promises not to “screw it up,” you’re going to see some changes around here.

Bout time to abandon ship.

Fun With Cleverbot.

Yeah, this was a nice attempt, but absolutely wrong. It certainly keeps the gun from dragging, but would do more harm than good as a “counter-balance.”

Pilot William C. Hopson of the U.S. Mail Service in Winter Flying Clothing

Regularly scheduled airmail service first began in the United States on May 15, 1918. “Wild Bill” Hopson remains one of the more colorful of the early airmail pilots. A former cab driver who survived several close calls (once landing upside down in a cornfield), he perished when his plane crashed during a storm in 1928. Check out his “Pilot Story” at the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum.

Wild Bill Hopson… I wonder if we’re related…?

With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.

Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen…
