Re: [PSAS] Need a name (DNS etc.) for the PSAS windows VM

I apprecitate how PSASVM1 implies that we'll eventually have a PSASVM2 etc.

Re: [PSAS] Toy hauler good to go

I hate to waste gas on a truck if I don't need to.  Jeremy is going to pick
up the generator so that y'all have it for setup, if I drop off the ATV (in
it's trailer) at Tim's, will someone's truck be able to tow it?

[PSAS] Fwd: The Zero Gravity Coffee Cup

Here's a link to a NASA ScienceCast video talking about the microgravity
fluids research that Mark Weislogel from our own Portland State University
is doing.

NASA Science News for July 15, 2013

Drinking coffee in space is surprisingly tricky. Physicists researching the
strange behavior of fluids onboard the International Space Station have
invented a zero-g coffee cup to make the morning "cuppa Joe" a little
easier to swallow.

[PSAS] Rockettober Launch and Tripoli certifications

2013-08-02 Thread Eric Ward
So, as you probably already know, it was finalized in the meeting this week
that we will not be launching the PSAS rocket this fall.  However, we will
be going as a group to the October 11th Oregon Rocketry "Rocketober" launch
to watch cool launches, and to support team members getting level 1 and 2
Tripoli certs (including Jenner and me.)

We're also hoping to get at least a few active PSAS members up to level 3
in the spring, which means a push this winter get those rockets built.
 PSAS probably has a Telemetrum that members can borrow (since level 3
requires the use of avionics) and potentially a motor casing as well.  Like
I mentioned, we're targeting a Level 3 certification launch in the May
time-frame.

If you'd like to get level 3 certification, come to the meeting this week
and we'll talk about what will all be needed.  If you don't have level 1 or
2 yet, but would like to get it in October, you'll need to get started
pretty soon.  Jenner and I will begin our L1/L2 rocket builds this weekend,
and we'll come with learned advice to the meeting on Tuesday.  Let us know
if you're interested in joining this adventure, and we can talk about kit
selection and written test preparation.
