Science tidbits .....

Yep Tidbinbilla is in the Brindabella ranges outside of Canberra. Got itself burnt out by fire a few years back. Nice place.

Yes it is. I got to make the rounds of some of the tracking stations NASA uses that year. Canberra, Madrid, Poker Flats in Alaska and Longyearbyen, Norway. A couple of trips each to Poker Flats and Longyearbyen. The latter being by far the most remote place I've ever been. That's been more than a decade ago and I still haven't used all the sky miles.
