Very interesting, and of course well photographed, Lorell.
Hi Rich.
Quint, that's really cool that your granddaughter and daughter are into space exploration. Your daughter's planned balloon launch sounds fascinating and important.
I really admire Buzz Aldrin. His post-NASA achievements, IMO, are even more impressive than his space flights. He has written a number of excellent books, at least one on how to best continue and expand NASA activities - especially a novel and efficient approach to a manned Mars landing.
And he is one tough dude - still going strong at age 92, he could probably kick the butts of men half his age.
OK, enough of my opinions. I'm low on photos worth sharing, but here's one taken about an hour ago on a mid-day walk in the heat (nearing 85-F or 29-C) of the glaring sun...

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
