FOREWARNING: SPOILERS. Â IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN STAR TREK, STOP READING NOW.
While I’ve been on a trip for the day job this week in downtown Dallas, TX, some of us found time to check out of the action and head over to catch Star Trek a second time.  It’s purely logical that a few NASA geeks want to check it out again, yes?
Words cannot express the birthday present I was given today.
I have a dual trip to California coming up in June – first to CalConnect to represent NASA on the standards body board there in Redwood Shores, then WWDC 2009.  I combined both trips into one, which left me with an empty weekend.
