two hours. two freaking measly hours.
after the hearing this morning, that’s how long the caib now thinks it would take us (mainly me) to create a debris footprint with the level of accuracy that our current sts-107 footprints have. the most recent versions of those footprints, mind you, the ones that took more than two months to make. and now they have been told that it would take two hours, if we had to do it again.
TWO HOURS!!!
nevermind that the processing time alone would be more like four or five hours, and that’s assuming everything runs perfectly and doesn’t barf, as the fml is prone to do. and that’s not including setup time or mapping time. ugh.
why doesn’t anyone ask me how long it would take?!? sigh. i canna take anymore cap’n. i think i’m going to mutiny.
anyway. last night i was supposed to go to bike sport, but then found out they are closed on mondays. then i was supposed to go biking with nacho, but he never showed up and didn’t answer my call (turns out he fell asleep). so i went swimming instead, as preparation for the triathlon. i swam 25 laps total, which is 1250 meters. i did the first 16 laps/800 meters/half mile in just under 20 minutes without a problem. that’s the length i’ll have to swim in the triathlon, so i’m feeling pretty good about it. the triathlon will be in open water instead of the pool, so i figure i’ll add a nice cushion of 5-8 minutes to account for 1) not being able to push off the wall every 25 meters and 2) the added choppiness of the water, and i figure i can finish the swim portion and be on my bike in about half an hour.
