Lester Haines: RIP

Stelios Zacharias

Just logging in to check what's up with LOHAN... Ariadne was asking. RIP Lester.

May your family, and your readers live long to keep your memory going.

LOHAN packs bags for SPACEPORT AMERICA!

Re: That will do nicely...

"How about a second Kickstarter to fund a ticket for Ariadne and family?"

Errm, that's touching, thanks, but I am sure there are a ton of people who have done more for the Vulture 2 than hand some crayons to a toddler. So I'll pass (and miss out on the cavity search on arrival).

Re: Gutted!

No probs - can't let bureaucracy stand in the way of science...

Gutted!

Rather upset that I won't be able to come to the launch with Ariadne... Spain: I could just about handle the cost and the free movement of people in the EU helps. USA: well, that's something else. Oh well. Let us know when the kickstarter goes live.

Looking good

Ariadne herself hasn't seen this yet, but her daddy is loving it.

Pixelation...

So when do we get the story on the redacted piece of kit?

Also, have you considered the Garmin sports cam (which if I am not mistaken can write GPS and accelerometer data onto the video). It's not in the budget category, but I have seen vids from one and I like the results.

In the public eye

So, while I have been trying to figure out whether to enjoy the attention or worry about the consequences of exposure, I have given Ariadne some more blanks. She was upset that I took her original drawing away to digitize it and says she will not be giving me any new designs.

Ariadne is also fan of both the Hello Kitty in space effort and the Toy train in space effort, so I am sure she will be following any future Vulture 2 efforts with me, whatever paint-job is chosen.
