Blast Off Dinner

Impressing civilians with the magic of air pressure.  We are so cool.
We met at Joe's tonight for our blast-off dinner, as we leave Thursday morning for NASA.  Our spouses came to share Joe and Laura's hospitality, smoked pork, and cherry cobbler cooked in coals.  (A man of many talents, that Joe is.)  Lyle brought a vacuum pump and bell jar so we could watch, once again, the magic of water boiling at room temperature, then turning to ice.  You know, you just can't get enough of that.  Marsha's husband Steve called us "witches" so I think we are set to go.  What an opportunity!
