He’s following a proscribe familiarization program and gradually building speed. No one should expect him to go for a new track record on day one.

There is a data transfer protocol. It’s an old one too when you think about the age of the probe and development time prior to launch. As far as sending it they have a radio, a dish and larger dishes and receivers back on earth. Saturn is about 80 light minutes from earth. So yeah, crazy far.

I have really been impressed with him off the track over the last few years. He has come out of his shell and seems to be more comfortable with himself. I hope he gets out and does some things that are fun for him. Maybe he can do some racing (Le Mans? Indy?) and get to see the world if he cares to. I’d totally…

That would work nicely.

Why were they pumping water on it? Toss on some chips and a tanker worth of salsa and you are in business.

Per the Wiki it survived and is on display. Looks like the museum agreed with how crazy the packaging was because they are displaying it with the body off.

I’m 42, so I don’t know if that proved or disproves your theory.

We were at MegaWeb about a year ago. We went over to the History Garage to look around. The mechanics were in the shop working on cars.

Yep!

I still have my first car. 1968 Mustang that I bought when I turned 16 in 1990. $2500. It is sitting in my folk’s garage.

Riding along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity runnin’ wild
Crusin’ and playin’ the radio
With no particular place to go

I was giving Hindy and the Radio Le Mans team the heads up from about 30 minutes out. He is a space geek.

I love racing, but I really LOVE rockets. So cool.

Wright is such a talented guy. Shaun of the Dead is one of my all time favorite films with Hot Fuzz close behind. I admit that Fuzz is amazingly well put together, but Shaun makes me laugh more. Baby Driver should be fun, but I do wonder of Wright has a thing for Subarus. He’s used them a couple of times.

I think he saw those people, the chairs and all the stuff and figured they were going to kill someone. Really. He sounds like he was afraid of hurting someone. All it would have taken would have been a little kid playing behind one of those cars.
