The launch vehicle rolling around on the pad for the first time. A good sign!
Paul films an important professor meeting.
BLAST coming together once again.
Jeff on a cherry picker, waving liquid nitrogen into the beam.
Enzo shields the detector signal cables with aliminum foil while Marie (hidden once again) ties down cables.
Enzo tests his shielding with a walkie-talkie, which produces RF (radio frequency) noise. He's looking over his shoulder at detector signals on his laptop.
Mark and Jeff prepare aluminized mylar flooring.
Installing the flooring.
Matt talks to a tour group. There are a surprising number of tour groups that come through — one every day or two. A few days ago we had a group from South Carolina, apparently a business class on a tour of Scandinavian businesses.
Marie shows off her beautiful insulative boxes for the motorized valves.
Matt and Marie install the motorized valves.
A cute little bunny Marie and I found on our way back from dinner. It was still there hours later when I went home to bed. I worry that it lost its mommy.
