Fixing the toilet. Or, what makes one appreciate simple mechanical systems and the local hardware store
The other day we had some issues with the toilet in the U.S. Segment. Late in day I went to use it. When I turned it on (it has pumps and fans that need to run) it sounded a little...

After two alarms, finally, I take a flight around the space station
I know this happened a while ago, but it was a very interesting day for me. My Soyuz crew and I moved our Soyuz from one docking port to another. Specifically, we undocked our Soyuz from the aft end of...

There is a terrific bang and jerk and just like that, you are in space.
About six hours before our scheduled launch time, we began our launch preparations. Up until then, the time in Baikonur had been on a relatively relaxed pace. But, now, everything was kicked into high gear. We had some final medical...

Come fly with me to the International Space Station

For those familiar with the Hunley, the fellow that discovered the vessel continues the search for similar ships near Shreveport. I am a big fan of Southwest Airlines, and the humor displayed by the flight crew reinforces my position. Heard at the close of the preflight briefing prior to departure Monday: "Ladies and gentlemen, sit back and relax, or sit straight up and be tense -- we don't care which -- but enjoy your flight." More after the break.

 Remember a website from the past, but when you enter the URL, all you get is a 404? Give the WayBackMachine a whirl. For example, I remember a Raisin-Apple Stuffed Chicken Breast recipe from the nabisco.com/kitchen site. Of course, the site is long gone, and the recipe is not on the new Nabisco site, so fire up the WayBackMachine and check it out. Choose the archive date and view the page the way it was eons ago. I found my recipe in the 1998 archive.
Try it on your own website and see how you've improved over the years. |
