Red and Rover by Brian Basset for February 19, 2016

Listen to Rover at Mission Control, Red!

That rocket will created intense local heat. The kind that leaves burnt skin, not warm body.

Rover told him with his eyes. Great art work.

Hugo Drax: Jaws, Mr. Bond must be cold after his swim. Place him where he can be assured of warmth…

safety first

Rover makes a wonderful partner!

I liked the NAR t-shirt: “As a matter of fact, I am a rocket scientist.”

I used to do that! Though I didn’t stand close to get warm.

That is about the only thing I wanted to do as a kid that I never did get done. Some of my classmates did. Two of them even got to launch one as a display at the playground of our school for the entire school watch . I bet the insurance companies would not let that happen today! (that was in the NASA ‘heyday’ when teachers brought TV’s in when a space launch was happening that day)

Thought about that vid of an old Atlas rocket that rose maybe six feet, then dropped back to the pad with an explosion that would’ve leveled a city block..
