  1. Agreed. Clear ballistic gel probably would have worked better.

  2. It's refreshing to watch someone who shares my love of science & technology, my faith AND my accent. Keep up the good work!

  3. I'm a United Methodist pastor and an avid space scientist since childhood. It is both refreshing and encouraging to see people in the science world who also have faith and the willingness to put that faith in action to make the world a better place. Granted, there are many intellectuals in the sciences whose hubris and lack of vision will not allow them to see a world in need. I pity them. HOWEVER, many of us believe in something greater than ourselves. I have met quite a few "big name" rocket scientists, astronomers and even a couple of moonwalkers (!) who have rock-strong faith in God. Destin, I am glad to see that you are one of those people. Please continue to inspire us!

  4. I've lived in coastal South Carolina forever, but I've never seen synchronized fireflies. I have quite a few living in my yard, but all of them seem to flash independently.

  5. The "innocent civilian Chinese weather balloon" was shot down six miles offshore directly in front of my home in Myrtle Beach. The explosion shook my house. I watched the shredded balloon fall all the way to the same water where I grew up surfing and sailing. Here's what I wonder: How did a heat seeking missile shoot down an ice cold balloon???
