Don't you have a real day job? ;)
If not, you may have a future in satellite recon....:D

This is the only one so far that I had actually been to. I was going to write Stazione Termini a Roma, Italia, but I didn't log in early enough to do that.

Congratulations, Scott Stutzman!

Scott Stutzman, Russell Straw... a couple other folks here together would make a great satellite reconnaissance team.

Scott Stutzman, Russell Straw... satellite

What would it cost to launch them?

Well, the Russkies want 25 million per person to launch, so.....a few bake sales here, some rolling stock sales there, and we'll have the coin to do the job.

Someone better outbid me on that Trainboard car quick so that we can raise the cash!

I have always liked geography and aerial photos so this is just a merger of those two passions. However, I have been falling down on the job lately. The Southern Pacific Historical & Technical Society annual convention is in Houston this week so I am spending most of my time there. Maybe I can get back into the swing of things next week. ;)

I did this one before I went to work, I figured I had a couple minutes so...

Actually, A job like that would be cool! It probably pays better than what I'm doing too boot!

Charlie, These are lots of fun. I'm glad you are doing them and putting in the work to set them up!

Russ and Scott doing live reporting from space, that's an interesting concept. Let's see, the next Shuttle Main Engine test at Stennis Space Center is in a few weeks. Maybe we can arrange front row seat viewing for these two, say on top of the fuel tank. All we would have to do is loosen one or two hold-down bolts, and "To The Moon....!" :w20z6q:
