Enlisted when I was 16 in the Navy - got degree and BUPERS said I was too old at 26 to fly F-14s. Ended up with a commission in the Air Force. Great career flying in the back of E-3s.
Then did some space stuff.
Has anyone built a cubesat? I was thinking about it. Model it after the Planet Dove but sending it to the moon.
My hands do not work like they used to - it was just something I put on my bucket list.
Kepler was my favorite mission. I can still remember the original HTML website when it was finally selected. TESS will be amazing.
Any backyard astronomers or cubesat builders here?
