Book Review: The Seven Secrets of How to THINK LIKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST

February 8, 2009 kleucht Leave a comment

I don’t read a lot because reading usually puts me right to sleep. But every once in a while I get hold of a book that grabs my attention and keeps me awake through the whole thing. This book, The Seven Secrets of How to THINK LIKE A ROCKET SCIENTIST by Jim Longuski, is a very good book. It’s a very quick read too. Each chapter is very short and sweet and just tells you what you need to know and then moves on to the next topic in the next chapter. Seriously, each chapter in this book is only 2 or maybe 3 pages long.

STS-126 launch

November 15, 2008 kleucht 1 Comment

We got a car pass and watched Endeavour launch last night on STS-126 from the NASA Causeway viewing site. It was awesome!

Elijah waits patiently for the launch. We got there almost 2 hours beforehand. Notice the nearly full moon out the window. A beautiful and clear night for a launch.
