They have done it again. Discovery and her crew performed even better than last year. Lift off on the 4th of July, a highly successful mission and today a picture perfect landing. Well done crew of Discovery!

Is this fly fishing related? In a round about way, yes. N.A.S.A. has done much to improve the quality of our lives through their spin off technology. Like this p.c. I am using, my digital wrist watch, the high strength polymer that my canoe is made from and those wonderful composites we use in our rods and gear. Lets not forget the M.R.I., CAT scanner, G.P.S., satellite photography and telecommunications.

Perhaps we can get N.A.S.A. to experiment with fly casting in orbit. The F.A.O.L. patch would look great on a space suit.
