Pro'lly the one project engineer that worked only for a couple of days, when they told him they needed some help on the "90" they were building...

You mean I90 DOESN'T stand for "Inside, 90 degree"?!?
Where do we go from here??? THE UNIVERSE!!!
Florida State University, Tallahassee, Florida has put up a very interesting Java applet on their site. It begins as a view of the MilkyWay Galaxy viewed from a distance of 10 million light years and then zooms into towards Earth in powers of ten of distance. 10 million, to one million, to
100,000 light years and so on and then when it finally reaches a large Oak tree leaf. But that is not all it zooms into theleaf until it reaches the level of the quarks viewed at 100 attometers. See:

There's an IMAX movie on a similar premise: Cosmic Voyage.
BTW, when they zoom in on the trees in the first url above, I think I spotted my NARAM-41 Eggloft Duration model :-)

Certainly more rarified and niche.
Although possibly skewed higher on the beer drinking and have a family scale. Rocketeers typically "have a life".
