Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a year since I last posted. I kept meaning to post more, about my rocket launch in December where I tested the arduino and GPS inside the rocket. And about my plans to keep working on the rocket/balloon project, and other things, just never really felt the need to actually log on and write it.
Until today, there's a project I've had in my head for quite a while. A simple one, no hardware, just storyingtelling. I've wanted to write a definitive English language account of the repair mission to the Salyut 7 space station from the mid 80's. I kept thinking I should get to studying and take lots of notes and just build it bit by bit until it's in a releasable form. But now I realize, I think I'm asking a bit much of myself. How much do I need to write before it's "releasable"? How long is this gonna take? It's a tough project, especially since my Russian was never really that good in the first place. So I got an idea to just start with something small and go from there. It's a fascinating story, and it's worth it to re-tell it to an english-speaking audience, as I'm sure space nerds the world over will be fascinated as I have been (at least I hope so). I'm going to release something by the end of Nov and then update it as I get time after work or on the weekends. If you're reading this, thanks! And check back in a month or so to see the first part of the story :)
