Today was the #StateOfNASA event at NASA centers across America. I was fortunate to get to attend the #NASASocial that covered the presentation and then touring the facility. Great things are going on at Stennis and their future looks bright.

I was lucky enough to meet Tory Bruno, president of the United Launch Alliance, near launch complex 37, where Orion would launch atop a ULA Delta IV Heavy in just two days. What a great experience.

2014-03-14 - Every chance I get I go out and look up at the astronauts on the ISS… but every so often I get to witness a very special pass… this was one of those passes. A solar transit of the ISS. I was worried that the clouds were going to ruin the shot… but thankfully they parted at 12:58Taken from Woodburn, KY at 12:59:53(GMT-6) on 2014-03-14 (Happy Pi Day!). Total transit time was 0.74s. Prediction data is posted on my blog above.
For those interested in equipment, I used a Canon 7D, Sigma 150-500 + Kenko 1.4x, and Baader Solar Filter.
