TIL that there is a marked difference in the characteristics of video cable and rf cable.

This means my current dipole antenna is built on inappropriate cable.

Payday is just around the corner, I'll be fixin' up this and some related problems shortly thereafter.

OH I also just failed the first general exam practice test in a run of about 25 or 30; that damn thing still keeps pulling up questions I have not yet seen.

I'll do some more practice tonight, and with coffee in the morning, then it's off to #JohnsonSpaceCenter to take the test at 9am. Cross your fingers and toes, I might need the luck lol

Perseverance Mars rover's samples will be curated at new NASA office in Houston

"The space agency just announced the launch of its Mars Sample Receiving Project office at Johnson Space Center (JSC) in Houston. The office will be housed within JSC's Astromaterials Research and Exploration Science division and will oversee the first samples returned to Earth from the Red Planet."

Today it will be one month since I started working at Johnson Space Center! I'm starting to get the hang of things, still in disbelief. #JSC #JohnsonSpaceCenter .

My first week at JSC is done. I've got a lot of information to absorb, and some waiting and paperwork to complete till I'm fully in the system. But I get to see live video feeds from the ISS and sometimes Artemis, so overall not a bad deal! #JSC #JohnsonSpaceCenter #ISS #InternationalSpaceStation #Artemis

Interessantissimo video di Progetto Happiness!!!

A few years ago, my wife and I visited #NASA at #JohnsonSpaceCenter. I don’t know why, but this reminds me of old #doctorwho. #bnw #BlackAndWhite

I just got a job offer to work at the Johnson Space Center! It involves archiving broadcasts from the International Space Station.
I'm still processing this information, every step of the way it felt like winning the lottery!
