A shop window, with the words 'We're Open' in large street art style. While in the foreground is a smaller 'Sorry, we are closed' sign artists in the window.
Well, that's disappointing. Art lied to me! ๐

I know of someone who used AI to write themselves a sales contract for an aircraft, but didn't proof read it. ๐จ
It included the words 'seller to pay for any and all maintenance'.
Needless to say... when the engine was found with corrosion and low compression, it wasn't cheap. ๐ฑ
Thanks for that! ๐. I wondered about this exact thing a few moments ago.
Sorry, that's a bit of a deep cut. ๐ ๐ Probably especially confusing if one hasn't seen the show. ๐ซฃ
Ok, now do the bass clef.
An average day flying is better than most any day doing other stuff!
It sux.... But keep at it, mate. It'll be worth it. ๐ค
This is Earth as photographed by the Apollo 17 crew on December 7, 1972. The whole planet pretty much fills the picture โ you see the deep blue oceans, those swirling white clouds, and Africa standing out as this big brown landmass right from the center to the upper left. Itโs the famous Blue Marble shot. Credit: NASA
Full view of Earth from the Orion spacecraft during Artemis II. Pale blue planet with white clouds, Africa visible on the left with the Iberian Peninsula twinkling with city lights along the curved edge. A soft green aurora glows near the top right.

From #Apollo (left) to #Artemis (right), two glances at our only home, 54 years apart.
One was our Blue Marble โ full and vibrant.
The other seems like a tiny, solitary jewel in the black cosmic ocean.
Yet itโs always the same #Earth. The same heartbeat.
Thatโs usโฆ in both.โค๏ธ

I love senior dogs. ๐ค
Highest I've been was FL400 in The back of a A330 CEO.
Would love to go up in the front seat of a bizjet that goes higher - even if only once!
FL410 is pretty dang high!
For the Artemis II launch, Erik Kuna used "pad remotes," placing sound-triggered cameras just 1,000ft away days in advance of the launch. It was a high-stakes gamble against rain, heat, and animals, risking gear destruction for a single, unrepeatable shot of the rocketโs ignition.

This is from a movie, but it's a very good representation of the Peacemaker.

Miss you guys too! Had a fun meal and beers that night, meeting all of you guys. ๐๐
Unfortunately, no beer tower for me tonight. ๐

It's been a while since I've been back here! ๐๐ฝ๏ธ๐ป
Someone just caught Artemis II from their flight.

April 1 is almost over down here - can confirm it is horrible, but survivable. ๐๐
Seen between urban houses and trees is a small white telescope observatory dome.
Walking my dog tonight in some streets adjacent to home, I happened to spot this! ๐ญ
@astrokatie.com I think I need to come up with an excuse to make friends with them! ๐๐คฉ
It's got a trunk and a frunk! ๐คฉ
