Weirdest thing I ate this week: turtle. Yes, you heard me. It was delicious. I'd do it again. I swear. Survival of the fittest.
Surreal moment of the week: Happened actually last week...sitting in a baozi shop in a small resort beach town while studying satellite communications links. That was weird when I realized it.
Inspiring moment of the week: There were a lot of them. But I felt very involved in the Space and Education workshop we had, discussing how to educate our populous on science and space matters. Its all about the jobs at the end of the rainbow. You cant expect students to take science and engineering needed for space jobs if there are no jobs waiting for them. There are, however, plenty of jobs in business nowadays and guess what...those degrees are popular right now. The K-12 years get a lot of attention when it comes to space education. Most of the government funded space education efforts are concentrated on them. The thing is, what about their parents? What about the populous that votes and can influence policy makers to increase spending in technologies and space pursuits? How can we educate them?
Culture shock of the week. Old women ramming into me with their shopping carts at Walmart to get ahead in line. And the turtle.
Sleep debt for the week: only 4 hours.
