So yeah. This happened. :)

A lot of hard work went into this. Been a lot time coming. Glad it finally went public. OPQS, Saxo and Evie and Taylor from SLULU are over there now getting a tour after todays TT. ANd on that note, was weird seeing the footage of them riding roads we ride for our lunch ride! There go all our QOMs/KOMs. pft.

DISCLOSURE: I work for Specialized. More about it here

It’s hard to express just how excited I am about this development or how much I want to be a part of it. Aerodynamics and wind tunnel testing are what I do as a PhD candidate and applying that to bikes gets me terribly excited. How stalkerish would it be to email these guys, I wonder?

Just when you think Commander Chris Hadfield can’t get any cooler, he proves that nothing is impossible for astronauts. That is the entire point of astronauts. 

The world was expecting a fun farewell from the station commander, because we live in a world where a man in space communicating with millions of people on Earth for fun is something we take for granted, but this is beyond anything we could have hoped for. And utterly perfect. 

SOBBING.

Epic. I think what I love best, though, is that it was not my space-obsessed friends who posted this on my dashboard. :-)
