Known as the "Oxy-Kit" this station processes oxygen samples collected by the CTD/Rosette.

this is dedicated to Jameykay, as I took this with her work in mind. She really is fantabulous. Check out her goodness in the link.
From the Greek roots ὀξύς (oxys) (acid, literally "sharp", from the taste of acids) and -γενής (-genēs) (producer, literally begetter), is the element with atomic number 8 and represented by the symbol O. It is a member of the chalcogen group on the periodic table, and is a highly reactive nonmetallic period 2 element that readily forms compounds (notably oxides) with almost all other elements. At standard temperature and pressure two atoms of the element bind to form dioxygen, a colorless, odorless, tasteless diatomic gas with the formula O2. Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe by mass after hydrogen and helium[1] and the most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust.[2] Diatomic oxygen gas constitutes 20.9% of the volume of air.[3]
And this, my friends is what happens when you fall asleep with a cigarette and set fire to your oxygen cylinder. For the record, it wasn't me. Actually, this is not supposed to happen - there is a pressure relief device in the cylinder valve that is supposed to prevent it from exploding. I was told by the firemen in the building that new underwear was required - two were in the next room when it blew and "it scared the crap out of them." Thank goodness, that's all it did.
Inspired by what Don did to his, I utilized the space between the seat and the engine structure for storage. Instead of random storage however, I decided to put oxygen containers there. Seems like a good idea if you end up crashing on a planet :P

This was a non-pressurized plane so at altitude the crew were very cold, dressed in fleece outfits, and had to be breathing oxygen through masks. The oxygen system was just one factor that spelled the difference between life and death.
shame she has her tea on her face but she's beautiful isn't she!
despite all the baggage i wouldn't swap her for the world.
A sign on the door into my office. Apparently, when it's very very windy, the door doesn't close properly due to a pressure differential between the air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned areas, causing an alarm to go off after it's been open for more than 30 seconds.

This is a tested skill. I have to assemble an oxygen tank, testing for leaks. Then apply a full face mask. In the test, the patient get uncomfortable from the mask so I change to a nostril tube with less flow. Then I have to flip the dummy when it vomits. Then suction out vomit. Next I disassemble the tank.
This supplied a proper mix of liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen fuel to the M-1 rocket engine. The M-1 was the largest rocket engine built by the U.S., but it never flew. At the Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum in McMinnville, Oregon.
Really love this shot,took it from a planted aquarium at madrianteh's place.Its oxygen produced by the plants.Wish it was much sharper.You can see the reflections of the plants in de bubble :-)
life is like oxygen.
translucent.
addictive.
free.
but what when we are dependent?
tubes from above, pumping.
his breathing shallow.
three words, no more can he muster.
in my mind i beg for the oxygen to stop.
his life support to drift away.
i shake his hand, for the last time.
his grip, strong.
"always strong, strong for respect."
so he taught me.
now pride keeps him from the darkness.
a cyclist.
a firefighter.
a farmer.
a grandfather.
he fights his last battle.
on the playing field in the depths of his mind.
the oxygen his ally?
reduces him to tears.
i am his first grandson.
did i really know him?
did he really know me?
i only hope he is happy.
happy to see me smile.
as the energy drains from his eyes.
