Excitement! <blockquote> Yuri getting ready for velo and Sergei warming up TVIS. Got a master alarm and the red light for "other" (warning) on the caution and warning panel</blockquote> Drama! <blockquote>End of the workday. Disc 2 of Apocalypse Now. Found "Kurtz" .</blockquote> International Intrigue! <blockquote> Shep is in the habit of reading the form 24 to the last "bykvia" and this slows things way down. For instance, misinterpreted the English letters "st"on the form 24--thinking this meant the Russian word "stranitsa" (page) when it really stood for "step". (Too early in the a.m.)</blockquote> High-tech thriller! <blockquote> Attempted backup of SSC file server (20 minute procedure) Hardware configuration requires saving files and shutting down SSC2 to get at the PC extender. Extender won't go on File Server until hardware is removed, which requires shutting down FS, and removing PC card bracket and ethernet card. More restarts required to get things going. Backup procedure unexpectedly shuts down FS. When restarted, FS comes up but network is down. FS is down again. Sergei helping with the troubleshooting--already spent 2 hours on this and still not working. Something wrong with the power supply? We swap supplies with the router--FS is working. Then the suspect power supply starts working again. We're stumped. The good news is that the network is up. The bad news--we will probably see this again. </blockquote> Even the quotidian, in space, takes on a different feel! <blockquote> Dinner in the wardroom as usual. Decided not to go for the ham and smoked turkey--saving this for tomorrow. </blockquote> And that's just for the <a href="http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/station/crew/exp1/exp1shepnov.html">first month</a>... Of course, if being an astronaut doesn't tickle your fancy, there's always <a href="http://www.somethingawful.com/d/news/space-camp-astronaut.php">astronaut-herding opportunities.</a></blockquote> tag:metafilter.com,2008:site.71157 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 20:59:43 -0800 astronaut borg captains come cosmonaut diary drama final for frontier intrigue ISS journal just log murder nasa no noonecanhearyouscream outofthisworld printerproblems russia space stardate station the to wait yet oxford blue http://www.metafilter.com/41637/love <a href="http://www.shynola.com/movies/goodsong/full_04.mov">love</a> tag:metafilter.com,2005:site.41637 Fri, 29 Apr 2005 14:40:29 -0800 at first fucked just love plain sight up kafziel
