All posts for the month December, 2014

OrionGot into work and totally forgot about the test launch today. Fernando reminded me and I got NASAtv on the computer at about 7:25am. They were holding @ T-4:00 and had aborted the launch once already for wind. They restarted @ about 7:52am and again aborted due to winds over 21 knots. A third time @ 8:26am that aborted @ -3:09 due to several Fill/Drain Vales on first stage booster rockets not closing. The left and center rockets didn’t show closed when commanded to close. The cycled the valves several times the O2 valves checked out fine, but the H2 valves on the left and center booster didn’t check. They aborted launch attempt for today @ 9:39am and are going to recycle for 24 hours.

Terrapin Beer Company (Athens, GA) Side Project #24 is the Employee Brew Off winning recipe Terrapin Turtleneck Gingerbread Winter Warmer.

The last winner was Pineapple Express, aka Side Project #21. Dustin Watts of Terrapin tells Beer Street Journal that this winning recipe “tastes like spices and cookies. The winning team did an amazing job.”

Terrapin’s 2014 homebrew contest winners have created “Turtleneck” gingerbread winter warmer ale, initially brewed in the backwoods of Athens, Georgia, or someone’s kitchen, this gingerbread cookie inspired beer was artfully crafted by a crack team of Terrapin employees. Since no gingerbread men or women were harmed in the making of this beer, we hope you will enjoy with a clear conscience.
