I feel obliged to write in this blog for the first time in more than three months … because I’m hanging out at NASA right now! I am in California, at NASA Ames. They flew me out to meet the folks I’ll be working with this summer. There’s not too much to say yet, since I just got here. I’m staying at the NASA Lodge, in Bldg. 19, which is this weird dorm/barracks thing. As far as I can tell, the Lodge hasn’t been redecorated since the 1970s. The guy at the front desk was wearing a NASA baseball hat and playing World of Warcraft. No surprises there, I guess. I can’t wait to go exploring in the daylight. For now, all I can tell is that my window looks out on an enormous blimp hangar (NASA’s famous “Hangar One” … which, incidentally, has been used a few times in episodes of MythBusters).
