you can say "chimoora" instead of "cow of tailed snake" if you want. its a good pun.
i ramble about aerospace sometimes
I take rocket photos and you can see them @aWildLupi
I have a terminal case of bovine pungiform encephalopathy, the bovine puns are cowmpulsory
they/them/moo where "moo" stands in for "you" or where it's funny, like "how are moo today, Lupi?" or "dancing with mooself"

in reply to @lupi's post:
If there are any photos on that set of Martin techs working in the silo at Vandenberg around the time of the Nancy 7 test, my dad is probably in them.
I've recently been binging restored Martin and Air Force footage about Titan II trying to find a glimpse of him because my brother threw away all of Dad's photos after he died.
It's been 10 years and I'm missing him something fierce.
i wanted to archive this box set anyway, since I don't know if it has been already, so once I figure that out i'll send it along! but i'm also finding it for surprisingly cheap online. i got it for 4 bucks at a collectors show and its not much more than that from some ebay pages
now that i've slightly nosed through all three discs, i will say it complains on the second and third ones, the DVD-ROMs, if you don't have quicktime 7 installed. i suppose you could spin up a VM with more 2005-appropriate software and windows, but. they all work for the most part in windows 8.1, though it claims to disable some features on some of the additional discs w/o quicktime available. and if you have "show hidden files/folders" on in windows you can just look at all the photos without the viewer software packed in. discs 2 and 3 have a whole lot to comb through that i did not expect. there are entire declassified pdfs on there, and so many resources i could go through.
I'll hook up a DVD drive to one of the linux machines and see what I can find on it.
this is also the second copy of it that i've seen, the first is at the museum downtown (and that one was sealed!). so that's at least something for its rarity. but if i can help by imaging the discs to archive or otherwise, i will! i just dunno how to do that.
