Nasatweetup – 1 month on
December 23rd, 2009

(Full/original write up here)

I’ve finally finished uploading all the photos i want from the NASA tweetup… which makes me sad. Taking a long time to process photos is my way of holding onto an event that little bit longer, so with all of them done it’s hitting home that this particular adventure really is over.

In the last month i’ve sent my footage/photos off for inclusion in a documentary on the event, given two presentations and kept up with my space news. The people i met and continued to follow on twitter have been a never ending source of news, reminders and updates that there’s so much going on above our heads. So many satellites, experiments and technologies are being maintained, executed and invented so that some guy can fry bacon in a non-stick pan while talking to his friend on the other side of the planet (Yes ok, so i can fry bacon).

I’ve also paid off my credit card bill…It was rather large, but worth every penny for the memories, the moments and the experience.

Here’s a picture round of the trip in its entirety.
