In the winter, they are downright frigid. I can see the attraction for a penguin, but it would be a harsh adjustment for others.
Someone's having a bad week... (via slashdot) The Russians have just discovered that their Soyuz 2 rocket does not fit in the building just finished at their new spaceport at Vostochny: "The cutting-edge facility was meant be ready for launches of Soyuz-2 rockets in December, but an unidentified space agency told the TASS news agency late Thursday that the rocket would not fit inside the assembly building where its parts are stacked and tested before launch. The building 'has been designed for a different modification of the Soyuz rocket,' the source said, according to news website Medusa, which picked up the story from TASS." The rocket had just been delivered to Vostochny for assembly, so this report, though unconfirmed at this time, fits well with current events.
Well, that is on my plans of things to do when I finally go for my level 3 certification. It isn't actually planned to happen like that, but by the time I am finished, it probably won't fit. I have to keep my level 2 rocket in pieces as it is...
Hmmm... looks more like July to me. But, I guess if you're a polar bear or a penguin, it really doesn't matter.
Hmmm... looks like one more for the all-expenses-paid "re-education experience." <sigh> I just hope there's enough room in the gulag. I mean... uh... classroom.
Hey everybody. Heat finally broke down here. It's nice outside. I have to take the van to safelite tomorrow. A weed whip slung a rock into one of the vent windows on our Town and Country. Hope it doesn't cost too much.
