The one and only himself!

This past week was Space Week here at my university, and that meant a big Space4Society conferance and a guest lecture by Buzz Aldrin!!! But the Buzz Aldrin lecture was more like a rock concert - 1500 people in the audience, pre-music & video show, paparazzi-like photographers when he finally arrived in the building and of course autograph-signing afterwards. Unfortunately I did just not get a signature from him, but at least I have a copy of the one my friend got.

The reason why I have been a bit absent lately, for those of you who wondered, is because I am working very hard on my project: to design my own satellite for gravity measurements of underground water reservoirs on the African continent. It is a LOT to do these days, but it is fun stuff for a space geek like me;)
Btw; I am going home for Easter to be with my family at our winter cabin, snowboarding and chillin' :) So it will probably be a bit quiet from me for a while, but don't worry I am still alive;) But first I have to tell you that I have finally got an internship for the coming fall of 2007! I had the interview today. I will be working on radiative transfer simulations for dust particles on the ground and in the atmosphere of Mars, to prepare for a polarizing spectrometer to be sent up with the ExoMars ESA-mission in 2013 :D
