Go Solar!

Woke up ... seemed light out, and the alarm clock was *BLANK*!

Power was out - probably for about 5 hours. Quickly scrambled to wake Liv and Norris. Liv got to the bus on time, even! Power came back on around 7:30, and I got to work around one hour late ... BIKING, of course!

Getting too easy

Another day, another bike ride. Yesterday I went BOTH ways, not cheating my way home on the bus. No Joyride progress last night

Whoosh

Sailing again today - to work on my bike! Yes!

Some weekend work on the Joyride project. I'm adding a menu with the mass of various well known spacecraft, crewed and not.

A good weekend to work on moving to another planet... or at least leaving this one for a while

No bike today, or yesterday - hopefully more next week!

Looking at and for Solar Sail web sites, it seems that the Sailaway project has vanished. It would be great if we could see more solar sail work...

Sailed on to work again on my bike does that count as solar sailing? I'm the energy source, and I'm powered by food, and food is... grown by the sun, yes?

A great tool to look around the Solar System, and plan your trip!

Moving around the Solar System



It is easy to move around the Solar System and see things:

Anyone who wants to plan a trip can go to http://joyride.mrklingon.org and get a spaceship design tool - I'll write more about that later.

The most important travel note : Today I rode my bike to work for the first time in 2003!


Where IS MrKlingon?
