Frank Blank Music: What a difference four decades make...
http://frankblankmusic.blogspot.com/2013/11/what-difference-four-decades-make.html
Saturday, November 16, 2013. What a difference four decades make. The first time I ever saw Tony Joe White was May 1, 1971. I hated him. White had the unenviable task of joining Spirit in opening for Jethro Tull, now at the peak of their powers just days after the release of Aqualung. Tour But the crowd did not exactly embrace White in a warm hug of good cheer. Yesterday, just over forty years later, I saw Tony Joe White for the second time. What a difference a few decades make. 8220;Alright - Friday!

Aerospace Perceptions: 2011 in 2025?
http://aerospaceperceptions.blogspot.com/2014/06/2011-in-2025.html
Friday, June 20, 2014. In the 1970s American TV viewers were captivated by a program titled Marcus Welby, M.D. In the near future, the space community may be equally enthralled by a small asteroid known as “2011 MD.”. 2011 MD in all its infrared glory, as seen by the Spitzer Space Telescope. Launched in 2003, the SST was the last of NASA’s Great Observatories and the only one of the four not carried to space by Space Shuttle. Instead, a Delta rocket carried the SST aloft. Once there, astronauts could jou...

Aerospace Perceptions: December 2014
http://aerospaceperceptions.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 27, 2014. Readers with a discerning eye - or at least readers capable of performing date calculations - may have noticed that fresh content has been somewhat… sporadic. Around here. Sad to say, that’s what happens when two book projects, multiple musical efforts, and a host of Internet-related assignments all barge their way to the top of the prioritization list. My interest in the. Network subjects remains keen, so revitalization is just a question of time. How soon? From a pre-teen p...

Aerospace Perceptions: March 2013
http://aerospaceperceptions.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 25, 2013. It's more fun to compute. In the late 1980s, I nearly moved to Florida to work for Lockheed Space Operations as a computer programmer working on Space Shuttle systems at Kennedy Space Center. Though a position was targeted for me, a government budget reduction led to that position and others being eliminated – and I dodged a big bullet of landing in Titusville FL only to become immediately unemployed. State of the 1960s IT art: an Apollo Guidance Computer. Friday, March 1, 2013.

Aerospace Perceptions: February 2012
http://aerospaceperceptions.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. We are the Explorers. Sometimes you just need inspiration. It's too easy to become bogged down in the world of hardware, calculation, budgets. Too easy to lose sight of the wonder of what has been accomplished and what lies ahead. Courtesy of NASA, it's right here. Everything you need in just over 2.5 minutes! Friday, February 10, 2012. We've got to get in to get out. The line above from a Genesis song on. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. To reach Lake Vostok, a huge, subterr...

Aerospace Perceptions: July 2013
http://aerospaceperceptions.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, July 2, 2013. Failure is not an option. Last night’s explosive crash of a Russian Proton rocket attempting to launch three satellites into orbit dramatically pointed out a fundamental difference between the U.S. and Russian space programs: Russian rockets do not contain Flight Termination Systems. Uncontrolled destruction: last night's chaotic Proton launch. Controlled destruction: a Titan IVA is safely brought down in the wake of catastrophic guidance problems. Range safety and flight terminati...

Aerospace Perceptions: December 2011
http://aerospaceperceptions.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. When there's a will there's a way. The problems is that legacies refer to events of the past. Now, on this last day of 2011, the national will to commit to future endeavors is either not there, or it exists in such a weakened state that the United States now finds itself in a predicament much discussed: for the time being, it's a country that can't even launch its own astronauts. George W. Bush announces the Constellation Program in 2004. Unfortunately, political support for ...
