"Hoo Hoo!" and "Booo...."

[derg]

Got selected to do some evaluation work for NASA, which is cool, but BOOO that it's causing a scheduling conflict.

Oh well.. Perhaps next time.

 

[Kristie]

what, no times available in April?

 

[Bigey]

You downstairs again Kristie while Doug is upstairs?

 

[derg]

Kristie's at rought 112º west and I'm about 2º east!

 

[BobDDuck]

Oh.... I learned how to enter Lat/Long waypoints into the FMS today. 'Cause that's so practical for all the inter Carolina flying I do.

Too bad about the NASA thing... hopefully you can make it work.

Aiye Aiye Cap't!


So what would you of been doing exactly with the NASA stuff anyways?

 

[t-cart]

You gonna be an astronaut?

 

[Aero_Engineer]

Congrats Mr. Taylor. Way to go sir.

 

[SFCC/UND]

Can you pull a LOA in a short period of time?

 

[cloudman]

O.K. I couldn’t resist “Ground control to Major Tom. Commencing count down, engines on.” :rawk:

We will have to create our own song- "Doug Taylor, Space Oddity"

Space Voyager, Douglas Taylor.......

Congratulations

 

[derg]

No congrats involved actually.

They're looking for type-rated 767 pilots for some evaluations and I answered the email!

 

[Swen]

My sources gave me a memo...its all about intergalactic space travel in the 767.

 

[WacoFan]

Would there be additional ETOPS stuff required for intergalactic 767/757 travel?

 

[DPApilot]

Would there be additional ETOPS stuff required for intergalactic 767/757 travel?

Nah, just a good set of autobreaks to land here.

Doug: Ready to Copy.
Clearance: You're cleared to the International Space Station, as Filed, on departure, fly runway heading, climb and maintain orbit. Departure Frequency 119.1, squawk 4678.

 

[Minuteman]

Not to crap all over the good times, buuuut...

"DAMMIT! THE FIRST 'A' IN NASA STANDS FOR 'AERONAUTICS'!!!" :buck:

 

[Realms09]

Maybe you could send NASA a reminder on that one. Unfortunately, I believe less than 5% of the NASA budget goes towards aeronautical research. Regardless, I hope you get to participate in the future Doug. I know they have a human factors group out here at Moffett (that's where the ASRS stuff goes) with some research sims.
