Came across this historic letter from Von Braun to Johnson posted by the history office. Really interesting stuff.

I actually like this :-) You can subscribe at iTunes.
Need to get them out to CoLab as soon as we get the real building.

I'm now working on NGEC-2 and NGEC-3. And CoLab and the Small Spacecraft website, and of course the internship (there's about 15 direct interns I'm interacting with most every day and another 15+ indirect ones I'm supposed to interact with sometimes).

Also microblogging at http://spacesooner.jaiku.com/

Oh, hey, you know what JPL and NASA DIDN'T do? Beagle 2. Yeah, Transformers. NOT US. That was ESA, headed by British people. Also: lander, no rovers. No roving at all. Oh, and pretty much everything else about that mission/Mars/mission ops they got wrong. Kinda insulting, movie. Thanks.
