The Huntsville Times has a good article on the Tranquility Base Rendezvous up on their website, along with a photo gallery from the evening. They posted one video as well.

Thursday evening’s event at the Space & Rocket Center was a resounding success! The evening went off without a hitch and all involved were witness to an event nearly as rare as a NASA budget increase: Neil Armstrong in a public speaking engagement. The evening started out with the freshly… Continue reading
While we’re celebrating anniversaries here at hab1, I’m embarrassed to admit that I allowed 2010 to pass without noting that Aviation Challenge turned 20! Though Space Camp has always been my favorite thing, I understand quite clearly what a great program Aviation Challenge truly is. The new Space & Rocket… Continue reading
I would like to thank Space Camp for noting the 10th anniversary of hab1.com on their Facebook fan page yesterday! It was a nice surprise! Thanks, too, to Wes Lyons, for his recognition, and the wonderful support I found in the HabForum!

Between some financial struggles going on as well as the natural reordering processes that… Continue reading
