Jake, really happy for some reason; and Ben, really pissed for some reason.
|

Working on the apparatus shortly after arriving at Houston.
|

This is the fat guy who let us in.
|

Jake, really proud of a foam hat.
|

Jennifer and Aaron in front of the KC-135.
|

Aaron entirely ready to have most of the air sucked out of him.

Panorama of the Neutral Bouyancy Laboratory.
|

Another panorama of the NBL.
|

NASA liquor?
|

Pumping liquid through the apparatus for the first time.
|

Aaron took this panorama without knowing. This is Hangar 990, where the C-9 and two WB-57s live and where we spent most of our daylight time.
|

A nice shot of the C-9 during loading.
|

Jake and Aaron, just before taking off.
|

Jake pretending to be performing microgravity research.
|

Takeoff.
|

Jake and Aaron, not pretending.
|

It's hard not to go up side down, it just kind of happens on its own.
|

A panorama made while waiting for Aaron and Jake to return.
|

Another panorama. That airplane is the WB-57, a high altitude aircraft used for weather research and space shuttle photography. Only two now exist.
|

PlaySPACE?
|

Jake keeping order in the Apollo Mission Control Center.
|

This is the kind of hard working American that put our flag on the moon.
|

Now Jennifer pretends to be the flight director.
|

Note how much more she looks like the flight director when not posing.
|

Ben and Jennifer talking to Don Thomas, an austronaut.
|

Jennifer and Ben just before takeoff.
|

Getting used to weightlessness.
|

Things are looking good so far.
|

Group photo.
|

Jennifer taking her time on a very long survey.
|

Houston is a wasteful city. This was spotted at PDX on return, a welcome sight.
