I spent many hours (days/weeks/months) playing Project Space Station as a kid. The best part was after I recently archived most of my Apple II floppies to disk images my station was right where I left it a decade or so ago. Really great game that was ahead of its time but fairly accurately depicted how a station would be designed and operated.

I was a huge space nut as a kid and recently had that interest reignited with a number of trips to the Kennedy Space Center this year witnessing the last three launches and the last landing of the Shuttle program as a member of the media. I also was given a tour inside Space Shuttle Discovery a few weeks ago.

You can see videos I shot over the course of the last few months here:

I was very fortunate to be a part of history.  I'm excited about what's next.
