For those not wanting to click..."U-M put two satellites into space this morning – M-Cubed and RAX. They hitched a ride on a NASA rocket and satellite. U-M was one of three universities across the nation to send satellites into space on this rocket"

This is actually the second RAX satellite to go up into space. And major props to S3FL (Student Space Systems Fabrication Lab and something to look into for current and future Michigan students) for a tremendous job on these and other equally ambitious projects.

Did rocketman go too?

Might I recommend a comma?

I thought maybe the OP was excited for the sequel to "Space Bitches!", a quality Roger Corman production available now on VHS and Laser Disc at your local Dollar Tree.

I assume The Space Emeror of Space, Zoltan, has given his approval.

That's what I say everytime I fly.

October 31st, 2011 at 5:23 PM ^
If they wanted the satellite in orbit, why didn't they just ask Zoltan to punt it there?

Ugh... Cannot anyone at Michigan please please please fix that video? It's hard to say "space, bitches" when the spacecraft is going the WRONG DIRECTION around the earth!

Anyone know if Simon (Pete) Worden and Alfred Worden are related? Both born in Michigan. Both grads. Both military officers. But I cannot find a link to the two on Google.
I was stationed at Falcon AFB when Pete was the base commander. Neat guy to talk to but not necessarily cut out for military service. I got to work one of his special projects too... a spacecraft sent to the dark side of the moon.
At any rate, that time in the AF, pilot career fields were overmanned. The AF sent a lot of the banked pilots to Space Command. When Pete was the commander, he replaced the daily playing of "Retreat" base-wide with the Star Wars death march. That lack of respect for customs and courtesies really rubbed people the wrong way. Especially the banked pilots and/or those who had been shot at or lost buddies in combat.

I assume the Emperor approved the direction the spacecraft is going. To think otherwise might have ... consequences.
October 31st, 2011 at 10:04 PM ^
he's the head of NASA Ames and has basically become NASA's go-to-guy for small satellite development. He was Gen Lord's right hand guy at AF Space Command for quirky and spooky space stuff... there's a lot of really important capability that we have now that Worden was directly responsible for.
Funny story about Worden. When he was pushing for the AF to worry about small satellites from foreign nations, he tried to prove his point by making a picosat in his garage in C-Springs then bicycling it out to Vandenberg. And yes, the pilot mafia in the AFwas NOT a fan of Pete Worden.

All your space are belong to us.
