Just saw the news that Wayne Hale (of Space Shuttle operations fame) has a new blog up on wordpress. Wayne’s blog posts while still at NASA were always informative, and I hope now that he’s out in the private sector, he’ll be able to continue that trend. As I understand it, Wayne left NASA earlier this year to take a job at Special Aerospace Services, which is conveniently located just one town over from where I’m looking at setting up Altius Space Machines. Maybe I’ll get a chance to do an interview with him for Selenian Boondocks at some point when I have time to do stuff like that again…
The following two tabs change content below.

In his article he mentions the “cash-strapped Shuttle program”. Heh. I wish commercial space were so cash-strapped. We’d be well on our way to the moon and beyond.
