Kennedy Space Center

Launch pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center now leased by SpaceX and currently being modified for launches of both the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets. Formerly the launch pad was used for almost all the Apollo launches including for the moon landings. The exception was Apollo 10 which used 39B.

Florida

Looks chilly down there, glad we were heading for Florida!

A lot warmer in Florida (yes it is Florida honestly), 27 Celsius in February!

Mardi Gras was fun...

So was Nate Ruess, almost literally!

The Pause lengthens again

Internet seemed really slow...

But not according to speedtest.net.

Great day out at Dirt Quake 4

Guy Martin and Charlie Boorman were there.

Guy Martin won every race he was in, heats and finals alike.

Although a slightly mad French man on a Yamaha R1 won the 'Inappropriate Road Bike' class.

New website

My new and currently still under construction website can be seen at the following address:

http://m62408.wix.com/martyn-barnwell-pix

Eventually when it is finished it will probably move to the domain name currently used here of www.barnwellpix.co.uk and the blog will move to the sub domain of www.barnwellpix.co.uk/blog all being well. In the mean time however I have put a link to the new site at the top of this page, so when this posting has moved out of site down the page the new website will still only be a click away.

Yes, that is a Skunk!
