Space is awesome. Everyone here is awesome for not thinking Space is waste of time and money. Mad props. Looking forward to learning and debating and having a lot of space-y fun with you all!
I'm in Texas, but as a teenager aboard a merchant vessel, our fist docking in the UK was Portsmouth. I still have the Girard turntable I bought there in 1970. [Please tell the salesman that, contrary to his claim, I did find one less expensive in London. ]Hi, I am James and live in Portsmouth on the South coast of England.
My thing I find most intersting is ball lighning. It is remarkable to watch it while it is forming. I saw it about 40 years ago and have met others who have seen ball lightning.But not to the degree that I saw it. Most interesting.
Hi StevieHi folks, Stevie here!
Wanted to pop in and say hello to you fine people! I’m one of your new Community Managers. My background is in Scifi online games, I’ve been working with CCP Games on EVE Online and off since 2007. I was also part of the launch team and CM for VR rift launch title EVE: Valkyrie, worked with Star Citizen at UK meets and Insomnia Gaming Festival, which is a fun gaming event here in the UK.
In my spare time I enjoy streaming games, watching scifi and collecting supergirl merch. I’m also an ambassador for SpecialEffect, the gamers charity. SpecialEffect work with people with disabilities, developing controller set-ups, eye tracking tech and working with developers on accessibility in games (which is also a passion of mine).
I’m really looking forward to working on these forums, and chatting about Space and sci-fi in its many forms. I really enjoy working with passionate communities, and am 'over the moon' (Lol) to be able to be working with you folks.
Feel free to reply with anything you’d like me to know about you! If you wanna reply with your coolest bit of Space Swag, that would be awesome!
This is me in my Space Industries NASA jacket, which I love more then anything.
Fly Safe,
Stevie
Hey space fans! I'm Kim and I'm the reference editor for Space.com. I'm a general science and space nerd. Feel free to ask me anything, and if I don't know the answer I will probably know where to find it
I don't have a whole lot of space swag, but my uncle retired from the Johnson Space Center a few years ago (he's an aerospace engineer and built parts for the ISS!), and he used to give everyone in my family NASA T-shirts for Christmas, so I have a pretty decent collection. Here's a ridiculous picture of me sporting an Apollo 11 shirt this summer on the 50th anniversary of the moon landing.
Hi Kim, my name is Jarrett LeClaire and I am hoping to find some direction with who I can talk to about some material/equipment that I have. In March of 2019 I had the high bid in an auction for a "Lot" from JPL. The "Lot" filled a 40 foot container and had all sorts of different equipment, power washers, rock crushers, just a whole bunch of different stuff. I have a bunch, probably 30 plus pieces of equipment that look like "computer" stuff that fit in racks, like a server rack. All of these pieces of equipment have "DSN" stickers on them. I have done some research and figured out that "DSN" means Deep Space Network. I spoke to an engineer at JPL, this was about a year ago, Pre-Covid. He knew a little bit about what I bought and he thought there was a good chance that I actually have a "DSN" system that was operational. Since Covid hit I have not pursued this at all other than trying to reach out to the engineer that I can't seem to find now. I would like to find out what I have, if it has historical value I don't want to split up the system. Any help in figuring out who I should talk to would be greatly appreciated.Hey space fans!

Start a thread and post some pictures of what you have. Some of our members might be able to assist in identifying or suggesting a source.Hi Kim, my name is Jarrett LeClaire and I am hoping to find some direction with who I can talk to about some material/equipment that I have.
