You guys have to check out this video. Don Petit is repairing his X-33 in the ISS, in microgravity! It's so cool.

You think Dereck has aquired those precision watchmaking tools yet.

Note to self: call leatherman and sell them on the idea of watchmakers version of the multi-tool. It should be complete with nine precision screw drivers, three sets of tweezers, a pinset, hands puller and hand setting tool. Of course it should have a removable 5x loupe. Write this idea down and send it certified mail to self before presentation to Leatherman. Do not open envelope upon receipt. Offer idea to them for 20% of all sales, ultimately settle for 10%. Above all else.... DO NOT tell a soul about it until the contract is signed and stowed!

Great video. Very informative. I don't want an X-33 any more.

HEY OMEGAAAAA!.... Your new space watch fell apart!.... In Space!... Ani-Digi CRAP!!!!
Regards, Leo

How do I get recognized by NASA or The White House? As a career I always wanted to be a big time engineer. I Always had such brilliant ideas that I am positive that it is NASA or White House worthy. I wanna be recognized as natural born engineer and have people look up to my brilliant work. I heard that President Obama has some big plans with NASA, that he will push forward our future.
