Life at the office has been good. Tilt table work continues and I am getting back to the swing of programming. I expect to be programming from now until the end of my internship. I have learned a lot since the start of my internship at Earthrise Space and I expect to learn even more as I continue my work there until graduation; Spring 2012! Woot woot! The redbull brought in by one of our new interns has been well received and has improved productivity by 150% due to the fact that we no longer have to sleep.

The successful maiden flight of VEGA, the new European launcher, is a greatItaly's success. It was developed by an Italian prime contractor, ELV SpA. VEGA injected 9 satellite into elliptical orbits around Earth and 4 of them were conceived and built in Italian Universities and by members of Team Italia.
LARES, built by CGS SpA and conceived by researchers of the Sapienza University of Rome, will be the hearth of experiments about Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity.
Barcelona Moon Team is collaborating with the Catalan Television to develop contents for one of the most popular television programs for children, “Una ma de contes (A hand of tales)”. This is a surprising and original program, very popular within children and schools in Catalonia and 14 countries around the world where it is broadcasted.
They are short daily tales created by an artist “hand” in all kinds of techniques. Drawing, painting, collage... surround the children with the magic of creativity, while music and spoken word relate the tale.
Every now and then I get asked to do interviews or talk about issues that are non-technical but that really make me think. They are interviews that I cannot prepare or study for, but really force me to introspectively reflect and address how lucky I am to live in the USA, and this awesome place called Huntsville, Alabama, AKA “The Rocket City.” We like The Rocket City so much we made it the centerpiece for our Google Lunar X PRIZE team, The Rocket City Space Pioneers.
Princeton's alumni magazine recently profiled Red Whittaker and team in an article featuring Princetonians in the Google Lunar X PRIZE competition.
