It’s not a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”.  If you wear one of these devices, you WILL ,at some point, say something you wished you hadn’t.  And it will be heard by folks you’ll wish hadn’t.  A Southwest pilot had that experience earlier this year. His unhappiness with the dating pool was broadcast across air traffic control frequencies when either his push to talk button got stuck, or he forgot to reconfigure his headset for intercom rather than radio.  Whatever caused the mishap, he let loose to his co-pilot, expressing his frustration with the number of gay and older flight attendants.  Apparently he can’t get laid unless the object of his affections is a young lady also wearing the Southwest blazer.  Perhaps he needs to expand his horizons!

I’ve been caught a time or two by open microphones.  Luckily, I don’t talk about my “dating” life at work!

NASA takes a bazillion photos of launches, and this is the result of digitally enhancing that data to see things usually not visible in the heat, light, and blast of a lift-off.  Full details at NASA.gov.

Fun with MSPaint

Shuttle Geek: The Last Rollout

The last rollout. Space Shuttle Atlantis heads for the launch pad. This will be the last launch of the program.  After this, if an American astronaut needs to get into space, he’ll have to hitch a ride with the Russians.  The USA will not have a manned launch vehicle for many years into the future.  Not the best planning, for a people that went from modified ICBMs to men on the Moon in ten years.
