I just had the pleasure of watching Discovery make her last ascent into space. As always, it was a sight that brought me to tears. There is nothing in this world that I find as inspiring as watching a manned space launch. The mix of excitement for the crew and their mission, the absolute enormity of the task of getting something that complex into orbit, sharing in the joy of the crew, and the fear of something going wrong. For me, this is motivation, this is inspiration, and this is the highest calling of mankind. I may never fly in space, but every time I get in the cockpit of a plane, I get as close as I can.
In conclusion, congratulations to everyone at NASA and onboard Discovery on a successful launch. I think everyone will join me in saying, “Godspeed, Discovery!”
I work with WeatherWary, LLC in app development for fun. Â Our first iOS device was published last week on iTunes! Â If you’re interested in weather please download it, it’s free, and send us some feed back!
I’m about to start work on an E6B app for the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Â If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s worth a quick search on your favorite search engine. Â I don’t have anything earth-shattering planned for the app, it will be function and easy on the eyes with all the standard functionality, and most importantly it will be either cheap or free. Â If I find something really interesting to do with it I’ll keep a basic free version and eventually publish a “pro” paid version with my awesome, yet to be discovered, “pro” features.
Anyways, I’m still working on ideas for an iPad app as well. Â Now, if I could just get a few days in a row off of work and school to get this stuff done…
