Reasons to be cheerful!

Kennedy Space Center!

All those buttons and switches!

What do they all do, I wonder? 

Probably nothing as I'm guessing that is most likely a simulator?

That one was just a scale model of the cockpit, the simulators were downstairs from that.

That's really cool,...the expression on your face is one of calm expectation. As if you were piloting the craft, and it was about to crash or Kevin Bacon just stirred the oxygen tanks

I like the video a lot, always wanted to observe an actual rocket launch, have to put that on my bucket list.

The SLS is planned to start testing this year and should be launching this or next year. That will be the biggest rocket since the Saturn 5. And most of those parts are designed to be recyclable. It could reduce the cost of entering space by more than three quarters. I really want to see the SLS go up.

Edit: Added link to SLS news.

I requested a temporary internship at a university hospital with state-of-the-art facilities and it wasn't denied! 

The good word my supervisor put in for me helped a lot.

Congrats to you xSP, I think this deserves some music to celebrate with, even if it is a few days late!

Come Firecracker Magalenha, bring the firewood to the oven, come do handywork...

I love the drums and whistles!  :dance1:

Wait, I thought I heard whistles...I listened to the song again and I didn't hear the whistles this time...maybe I need another brownie.

Why thank you Father Bruno. I think that song may have some potential, let's add some beats, shall we?

Or would that be the gravest of sins?

[Icarus]

Neither of those sound at all like the Sergio Mendes I once liked.  I think they were called Brazil 66 back in the day. Brazil 66 used a lot of horns and some woodwinds not so much percussion as the above vids.  If I remember correctly (not very likely,what with my rapidly ossifying brain) they had a female singer who was sensational. Her name was Astrud Gilberto ??

I wish I knew, but as Father Bruno well knows, I avoid that type of music like the plague.

Hi Icarus, I've posted the music and singer "Astrud Gilberto" you are referencing here on our forum before, "Girl From Ipanema".

Classic stuff

[Velma]

OMG! OMG! My husband found a signed, first edition of "Demon" by John Varley in a second-hand book store for $2. Yes, two dollars!

[Dragonia]

Ooooh, Vela, that IS super cool!

[Tank]

OMG! OMG! My husband found a signed, first edition of "Demon" by John Varley in a second-hand book store for $2. Yes, two dollars!

Real value?

No idea. I've not looked.
