Story about my satellite uplink down here and the goodnight of Marisat.

“The TDRS F1 satellite is now shouldering the burden for primary communications for South Pole Station, as it carries bulk science research data at an amazing volume of 100 gigabytes per day, and recently achieved a record 126 gigabytes per day.”
That was all me, baby! X D
And now, a couple of pictures for you…
First, the South Pole Telescope as seen at 02:00 in the morning.
And next, our very own Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth class…
Also, today is day number 6 of my exercise regimen. It’s not as intense as it could be - on purpose - since I’ve been able to continue it every day for the last 5 days! If I keep this up, it will progress over the next few months and I will, conceivably, get into great shape. Right now, it’s just a half hour routine of stretching, pushups and situps, walking, jogging, walking and jogging, all timed by a specific playlist of music on my MP3 player. I plan on sticking to this, with no exceptions, 6 days a week.
Now - off to test the backup transmitter system I put together, with live data this time! X D
