(dc) what's hot and what's not
at high level nasa lunar planning meetings,
what's hot:
an astronaut sitting next to you with his calculator periodically punching numbers into it (kind of like a teenager would text a friend) and scribbling numbers and mechanical designs on the hotel notepad.
what's not:
engineers using laser pointers on powerpoint charts containing only words.

Astronaut math is awesome. How can I crash some of those meetings?
Remember the high-powered green laser pointer I once showed off to you? I took it to a meeting last year and discovered it was a little too powerful. People would shield their eyes every time I tried to make a point.
Yeah, at this meeting (the one in the pictures), there were at least two guys (including the one in the "what's hot" photo) who kept blinding the people in the audience. I guess it takes practice to learn to take your thumb off the button when not pointing it at powerpoint charts.
Did your points involve shining the laser pointer in people's faces?
Sometimes that's the only way to get your point across.
true. stomping on their toes sometimes works too.
laughed out loud at the image of someone using a pointer to point at a slide of words. Hilarious. Should be a scene in a movie.
