Check out “Wakeup Like An Astronaut” on my web page, featuring the hilarious satirical space shuttle wake up music Michael J. Cahill created for me after the Challenger accident.
HI Dr. Sullivan At today's veterans day event at the Air Force Museum in Dayton your name came up as a person the museum would like to host for a possible talk and book signing. Please contact me at kkeisel@gmail.com and I can put you in touch with the event organizer. We would have loved to have had you there today. W.e had 50 veterans posted at their aircraft, but no one at the Shuttle.
Enjoyed your invu with Anne Diamond on Viking.TV. My wife is Director of Sales for Viking in Canada.... so she was on my case to have a look at it. I did.... your invu was the first, and I'm glad I heard your story.
I smiled when you showed a pendant of sorts. As you've been higher and lower than all of us, and idea for a new pendant/medal came to me:
On one side, your visage. On the other: "Every life should have its ups and downs."
In your talks to schools, have a draw for half a dozen of them. The successful kids will have a constant reminder to 'go for it'.... whatever 'it' is.
June 7, 2020: Journey to the bottom of the Challenger Deep - and back. Longer posts describing this remarkable day will follow soon. Will add pix when we get back to 4G bandwidth. Stay tuned!
If you put Everest into the Challenger Deep, it’s summit would be more than a mile below sea level. On the other hand, seven miles (the distance we’ll go down) is just half the length of Manhattan island. What makes walking the length of Manhattan, summiting Everest and reaching the bottom of the Challenger deep such wildly different challenges is air pressure. Pressure change along the length of Manhattan is essentially zero. From sea level to Everest? About 70% less air pressure at the summit than at sea level (1013 millibars to 253). Pressure at the bottom of the Challenger Deep? Over 1,000 times that at sea level (15,750 pounds per square inch, versus 14.7 at sea level).
We are over the eastern pool of the Challenger Deep and making final preparations for our first dive. Victor has just gotten into the sub to power up and run through the pre-dive checklist. I board in about 30 minutes. We aim to be off the hook and pumping down at 8am local time. Fine seas (<1 meter wave + swell), winds about 15kts and yesterday’s squally weather breaking up. A great day for diving!
