Presentation slides on rocket piloting from Space Access '08
I posted my slides from the panel discussion about "Paths to Rocket Piloting"
on March 27, the first day of the Space Access '08 conference
in Phoenix, Arizona.
These slides weren't actually shown due to changes in format of the panel.
But they were used for notes and I promised the audience I'd post them.
You can download them as
PDF (256K)
or
OpenOffice (260K).
Photos of Blue Origin's spaceport site
I got some
pictures of Blue Origin's
spaceport site north of Van Horn, Texas when I was passing through the
area on July 15, 2007.
Photos of Atlantis landing at Edwards
I got lucky. I was visiting Mojave when the space shuttle came to land
nearby at Edwards AFB. I posted
my photos of the landing.

Photos of Atlantis and ISS visible pass, June 19, 2007
I got pictures of the
visible pass
of the Space Shuttle Atlantis and the International Space Station
over the Bay Area on June 19, 2007.
This was a few hours after Atlantis undocked so they passed as two
separate dots in the sky, or separate streaks in my long-exposure photos.

X Prize Cup, October 20-21, 2006
I've had my pictures uploaded since just after the event.

Las Cruces, NM.

Eyewitness to STS-107 Columbia disaster
I was an eyewitness to the re-entry of the Space Shuttle Columbia from
Mount Hamilton near San Jose, California as it left a strangely-smoky
trail across the sky on Feb 1, 2003.
See my article, "Report from Viewing the Re-entry of STS-107".
