New user pic

[stonebender]

I can be a creature of habit. To illustrate the fact, for just about as long as I've had a Livejournal, I've used the same default user pic. Today, thanks to both of my dear loves I have a new user pic and it is now my default. It's a picture from a recent surprise trip that loracs took me on. A group of spaceflight fans set up a display of equipment used in various space missions (Russian and American). I got to touch all kinds of equipment that had actually been in space. The helmet I am wearing was used in space. How do I look? Thanks to loracs for the wonderful surprise and taking the picture (she used her cellphone pretty good, huh?). Thanks to serenejournal for helping me size the picture.

P.S. Astronauts are much smaller than I expected

Fantastic!

Yeah, I recently read somewhere about there supposedly having been a height limit on astronauts.

The thing that amazes me most is that I recognized your face under it, given how long it's been since I last saw you.

Happy Tuesday!

Snazzy! :)

I expect that it makes a lot of practical sense to have smaller folks when it costs that much in fuel to transport every gram.

Is this version a little more naturally-coloured?



(I'm just guessing, since I obviously wasn't there, but the user icon looked yellow to me.)

I have a nephew who is 6'7". He was told he could never be a military pilot because he's too tall. He wouldn't fit in the cockpit.

You look fabulous. That's a really nice picture, and it sounds like a great trip!

I remember very well being in the Smithsonian a couple of years ago, whith a piece of the moon and a few of the space capsules!
