Here, you'll find lots of information on Goddard's Aerospace Education Mission 1st Lt Cameron Logan, Aerospace Education Officer Capt Antonio Fontes, Assistant AEO Lt Col LouAnn Maffei-Iwuc, Assistant AEO News Flash! For all of you NOOB drone pilots! The AEO may be really dating himself, but how would you like to build a working computer from paperclips! Also, NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory took these series of shots from 1-million-miles away showing the moon passing in front of the Earth -- cool! http://www.nasa.gov/feature/goddard/from-a-million-miles-away-nasa-camera-shows-moon-crossing-face-of-earth
And even astronauts have to fill out Customs forms when they enter the US from the Moon -- see Buzz Aldrin's form: http://twistedsifter.com/2015/08/buzz-aldrin-apollo-11-customs-form/
How would you like to simulate the Gemini and Apollo flight guidance computers on your PC?

Some Interesting WWII Trivia: You would really have to dig deep to get this kind of ringside seat to history:
Courtesy of Col D. G. Swinford, USMC, Retired and a history buff. Carrier Takeoffs and Landings! This video link is fresh (for the public). It was made just six weeks ago in the Atlantic, just off Newport News (Hampton Roads), Virginia ... These are the latest sea trials the F-35B on the USS Wasp. They were very successful, with 74 VL's (Vertical Launch) and STO's (short take offs) in a three week period. The media and the program critics had predicted that we would burn holes in the deck and wash sailors overboard. Neither of which happened. You will notice a sailor standing on the bow of the ship as the jet rotates. That was an intentional part of the sea trials. No catapult... No hook....It's a new world out here! The shape and scope of warfare worldwide just changed. Click your mouse here ---> F-35B UH-60M simulator time may be available! How would you like to return to school on Monday and brag about flying a UH-60? The Camp Edwards UH-60M simulator may be available for use by CAP squadrons |
