Can't wait to see the Talon this Fall. Awesome display, I saw just the stand last year.

Cool that they included a pic of Dottie in the signage. Such an inspiration, I know her post-NASA
career will be stellar.

Irene once told us the story of when they first pulled the Skylab solar panels out of storage. One
technician touched it and got zapped! It instantly started generating power!
