It's always great to see Jimmy's photography on "display". I'm having lunch with him today, perhaps I can score an autograph, although I think his "completion fees" are a bit high.

And since we're being nostalgic, the future was there in this Astronomy Picture of the Day for December 9. It could have been really cool.  |

It would have been a great shot for photographers if the shuttle had launched when this photo was taken. Nice sunset lighting. |

Had it launched then, it might have been a pretty photo, but it would have been a bad day for the photographers, Jimmy and myself included. We were within a mile of the pad... |
