Fair dinkum!! I shyte you not.
The next day I got a Face Book friend request from him.
Last night John Kazeva, engineer on ALL the Shuttle missions, gave us (Kate Doolan and myself) a chauffeured tour around Washington DC in his convertible.
Tomorrow night I'll be visiting the Naval Observatory at the Vice Presidents residence. (squeeeee!!!THE Vice President of the United States!!!!) I'll bring along my T ring and adapter for this one. Who knows, they may let me slot the 550D into one of their scopes.
It sure would top the Lowell Obs imaging experience.
My mind is officially blown away. It's all so so SO surreal.  |
