Parts, rain, parts, rain, parts and rain.

The storms and flooding didn’t slow the team down.

We finally got the shop completely rearranged and ready for the next series of missions. The shakeout also included a huge part sorting ordeal. There are literally hundreds of little part drawers, boxes, plastic organizers and the like. They tend to get filled with the odd IC here the and extra capacitor there. After a few years there are more stray parts then there are Starbucks. Bob showed saint like patience in sorting a googolplex of parts one at a time. The good news is that it’s DONE!!! Our dogo of space flight is ready to rock once again.

Everyone had to take a moment and get measured. We’re working on articulating the seats for the crew module. We not making custom seat of each team member, however to we do want them to be comfortable for long duration for the widest range of people.

Also, the support cabling for the Tandem parachute cannon was completed in spite of all the chaos.

    Nothing like a rainy day to motivate you to get an unpleasant job done.

    Hang in there! We can’t be physically there to help, but we can be rooting (and praying) for you!
