It has been fifty-five years since a human first set foot on another natural body in the solar system. We are finally making steps toward doing it again.

Hey Bryan,
I hope you are well & have everything sorted. 🙂 Apologies for not posting a “G’day” for a while. My life is still in turmoil & time has been sort of meaningless for me.
I was watching some Sci/Tech news, which is pretty much all I watch these days, and came across this one & thought I should share it. Though, you may already know, but I know you keep busy too.
It’s about the SR-72 Blackstar that the USAF just announced exists (and has been rumored for years). It got me very interested in stuff-not-about-me for the first time in Months. 🙂

If you haven’t seen this, I hope you find it interesting.
I’ll try to drop in & say “Hiya” more often. You’ve done a lot over a couple Decades to help save my sanity & had some laughs along the way! It’s saddens me we never got to meet and share a drink & a laugh. But I still have some good memories.
Take care & I hope life treats you well my friend!
I have been in and out of the hospital lately while tring to track cyclones, and now I have to find somewhere else to live as the owners are tearing down my house and the apartments I manage. Getting old sucks. I will probably move to upstate New York or Southern California, the locations of my brothers.
