...you bring in flight suits, jacket and such to the patch sewing place at the local military base, they simply assume you work for some kind of NASA field office and say, "Hey, the NASA guy is back!" every time you show up for something new.
Happened today to me... |

If you think NASA should build a Death Star.

You call your wife immediately after flipping her car on its side on an icy road and say "Houston we have a problem" and she knows exactly what has happened. Don't worry, I wasn't hurt. But I definitely went into gimball lock! |

You are a space geek if you spend hours and hours listening to Apollo air-to-ground audio, splicing it into manageable chunks, listening back to it while videoing a space simulation of the Apollo spacecraft and "flying" the whole mission, then rendering and polishing it before posting it on YouTube so the whole world can enjoy the flight all over again ...when my wife asks whats a space geek? ...I hold my hand up and say "Pick Me! Pick Me!" |

When a friend of yours you only met and hung out with for about five days in Israel almost two years ago says he is coming to the US via Miami and is going to be in the US for three months and needs ideas of where to do your first place to list is the KSC, with visiting you in NJ as you second choice. |

Ah, but you'd be more of a space geek if you persuaded your friend to come through not into MIA but MCO.... |

You are watching a National Geographic video in geography class and they are talking about Mars and you can name the probes, rovers, and landers. Also you can do the same with the astronauts shown in the other parts of the videos. |

If you only bought cars made by a company named SATURN during the past 20 years and had plates on one of them that looked like this.  The gate guards at the Cape always got a kick out of them and often remarked, "Nice tags!"  |

On my 80th birthday I received two gifts that show that I'm still a space geek. My stepson, who is a graphic artist, gave me a framed photo showing my face and name tag on Buzz Aldrin's famous photo.My wife knew how happy I was to get my car's license plate that reads "ON MOON" and she gave me a license plate holder that reads "MY OTHER CAR IS ON THE MOON". She said whenever I showed my collection I always talked about the artifacts and maps that were on the rovers from the Apollo 16 and 17 missions and the schematics that were in the LM in case rover repair was needed on the moon. You can see these six artifacts on my website.
