Day Four
Well, more convention today. Yesterday went very well. We've been getting really positive responses so far. JoCasta got good reviews of her presentation. I've enjoyed the opportunity to not only tell about the site, but also proselytize for the agency a little as well. The lady at the booth next to ours was saying she didn't understand why we continued manned spaceflight, and so I was able to tell her about all of the benefits (sticking strictly to official party line, of course, if Alan, et al, are reading). At MSFC, Jo and I are CSC contractors, here, we are NASA, which is kind of cool. I wore my NE shirt yesterday, but the next two days, I'm wearing the meatball.

Thankfully, no one had asked for the "inside scoop" about the accident, or anything like that, though I did have one guy ask my opinion on the Mars conspiracy guys. Again, stuck with an official agency belief--Mars needs further exploration, and so that's why we're sending more rovers there this summer.

Not a whole lot else going on... other than that, yesterday was spent mostly shopping downtown (and eating).

More later.
