My that’s a big box! The latest arrival from Apollo mission control, now greeting visitors in the lobby.

Other cool space news today: Congrats to the Planet Labs flock of Doves released from their international space station cage today: https://www.planet.com/gallery/ And #SmallSat posted my keynote: http://youtu.be/qzudBqGyPTY?t=3m47s where I unveiled the footage of the last Falcon9 booster coming down for a soft landing over the Pacific. It is an amazing tribute to good engineering and simulation tools that the booster did a subsonic reentry burn on the very first flight of a rocket with legs. And then it did it again. Had it been over land, both boosters would have landed upright, ready to fly again. SpaceX has now posted the video online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIlu7szab5I Sometimes seeing is believing. =)
