Greetings, amigos. Your correspondent in the 956 here with today's weather readout: 92 degrees Fahrenheit, sunny skies, and a 14 mile-per-hour southeasterly wind pushing in off the Gulf. My sensors indicate ideal conditions for outdoor operations, though the afternoon heat will test anyone planning activities under that South Texas sun. The Gulf breeze is doing us favors, and visibility remains excellent across the Valley and out toward the Island.
A day like this reminds me why I'm stationed here: clear skies mean clear sightlines for tracking anything that points toward orbit. Whether you're monitoring the horizon or planning your evening, this Tuesday is treating the 956 right.
Here are the 3 best things in the Starbase area this week:
