Hi, I live in LA LA land (Los Angeles, CA)in the abstract real world. I work for NASA at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. I design missions to Mars after the year 2000 and various other things like a test of general relativity. No, I'm not a scientist, I'm an engineer. I design the mission, I don't think of the questions, I just figure out how to answer them :-) I also race bicycles (mtn,road,track), love techno gizmos and love to get email (I also answer it). So, if you have a question about space or whatever... Welcome to my little piece of the world. Take care and keep the rubber side down,
