From Bloomberg.com:

 Obama’s transition team is considering a collaboration between the Defense Department and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration because military rockets may be cheaper and ready sooner than the space agency’s planned launch vehicle, which isn’t slated to fly until 2015, according to people who’ve discussed the idea with the Obama team.

Hmmm. “inter-service commonality.” Where have I heard of that idea before?

Hmmm…

Yeah, a real winner, that was…

“No, really! It was pure genius!!!”

Delivered today were the printed parts for the Rockwell “Silent Night” stealth attack plane. The resin is good, but there’s a lot of surface roughness (“jaggies”) produced by the resolution limits of the 3D printer to be removed. Still, the parts fit, and test sanding of the underside of one of the wings went off without a hitch. This’ll be a pretty spiffy model once completed.

Testing out the newly-repaired camera.  Back to what I suppose it’s supposed to be, but it still doesn’t do very well in lower-light conditions. Tried to take photos of a swarm of deer that crossed my cars path late this afternoon, got nothing but motion blur since the exposure time was too long. Feh.
