Great music (I recommend headphones), and if you have the bandwidth, do it high def and full screen.

Link to BoingBoing notes.

Only place I could definitively identify from this video without slowing it down was the Sea of Cortez, with Baja California closer to the center.

So the Stennis sign had said closed Sunday. I failed to note the smaller, conflicting sign that said open Wed-Sat.

I need to back up. Last night, I stayed at a Sheraton Four Points. They're okay, I don't like them as much as the same tier Hilton properties (Hampton Inn, Hilton Garden Inn), but I wanted to keep my points active, so I stayed at one. Except they tried to charge me $299 for the night(when I had a prepaid rate of $79, and the clerk thought the computer was being ridiculous, because who'd pay $299 for a room at a Four Points?) and put me in a room that had a door that wouldn't lock.

So then I haul butt off to NASA Stennis this morning, but it's Tuesday....

At that point, despite my lovely Waffle House breakfast (under $7), I was done with Mississippi for the day, so I headed to Huntsville.

Too many miles, over 100 of them unnecessary. Grr.

No writing notes today, too fried, and I have almost as much driving tomorrow. I did double check though -- this site does have NASA tours tomorrow (or I'd feel really dumb). They have cool stuff like an IMAX theatre, where I'll see the Hubble movie (I did some work for my dad on a Hubble-related contract, so I do feel connection to it).

From today's NASA photo of the work on the Hubble, posted to Twitter. Go John Grunsfeld!

And let's give Joss a nod with Serenity, right?

Here's the link.
