Navigating Space by the Stars

A sextant is a tool for measuring the angular altitude of a star above the horizon and has helped guide sailors across oceans for centuries. It is now being tested aboard the International Space Station as a potential emergency navigation tool for guiding future spacecraft across the cosmos. The Sextant Navigation investigation will test the use of a hand-held sextant that utilizes star sighting in microgravity. 

Read more about how we’re testing this tool in space!

Maybe we could just lie on the ground for a while

I saw Justin Bieber!!!

My friend and I went out for breakfast and Justin Bieber came into the restaurant we were eating at! No joke! I don’t think he totally remembered me from when we went to school together, but we said hi and he gave me one of those I-can’t-quite-place-where-I-recognize-you-from-but-you-look-familiar looks!

Just stalking regular people that look like celebs on campus so I can take pics on them on the sly and send them to my friends as "star sightings" Nbd

That Awkward Moment...

Where you're at work dying of boredom when out of nowhere you see someone that looks familiar. You just see them and instantly know who they are. Upon hearing their voice you're more than sure that it's definitely the person that you think it is. When you ring them up you're somewhat starstruck because although you've ran into famous people before you've never actually spoken to one face to face. Then the surprise factor: They're actually much nicer than you expected them to be. So yes today at work I met Amanda from Big Brother. I wanted to say "Hey are you Amanda?", but I felt a bit awkward saying anything because it's been so long and well I was at work. She bought a pack of cigarettes then she mentioned how they're more expensive here and I mentioned that they're cheaper in Florida. She mentioned her bf as well which I've learned online is still McCrae. I don't know it's weird because I remember not liking her on tv...nevertheless she seems like a nice person out of the show. And very very pretty. It's seems like she's staying somewhere around the area so perhaps I see her at work again.

Randomly ran into the Reverend Jesse Jackson on my way to dinner and he shook my hand. 

Sometimes, living in DC has its perks.
