How did I get here?

Here you'll see lots of things that I find interesting or amusing. Much of what you'll get are reflections of my interest in technology for design and/or manufacturing. I'm also a bit of a science and space geek, and you'll eventually encounter some, philosophy, travel articles, scenic photography and music.

Meet the folks who are driving Atlantis out to the launch pad for the final shuttle mission. The crawler is a vehicle as wide as a highway that only gets 32 feet to the gallon and would sink under the weight of its 18 million pound cargo were it to drive off the specially designed 3.5 mile road. 

 ”Even driving at 0.8 miles an hour, if you’re not paying attention, it will get away from you,” Couch says. “So how does it handle? Eh, you’ve got to watch it.”

Let’s start pooling our money to buy one of the surplus crawlers! Who’s with me? I got $5 on it.
