Headed up to Big Bear this weekend to sip whiskey on a deck at the top of the mountain and look for the comet that hasn't been here in 7000 years. That's Mesopotamia and they worshiped lizard beings which when I put the signs together that tells me Sammy Watkins is gonna have a great year.

This is a little long, but here's a nice overview of how Perseverance compares to Curiosity. First chance for launch is early (7:50am EDT) on Thursday. It'll be on NASA TV.

I've seen the comet a few times, but during work, so I haven't had a good chance to really look at it or take a picture. Turns out that old commercial twin turboprop aircraft aren't great platforms for taking pictures of celestial bodies. Go figure.
Hoping to find some clear sky tomorrow night, take my scope and my camera for a spin. |

Anyone want to give me the $250k for a ticket? I'm game.

You definitely get a little spoiled by SpaceX's production quality, but she's off!
