Do you need a 3D printer to build an airplane? No. But for RV-14 builder Mike Lambert, it became as essential as a wrench!
Prototyping custom modifications in plastic allowed him to test fit every component before machining the final parts. Mike didn't just build a kitplane. He made it his.

@NASAAdmin is going to need all of us who care about the movement of humanity into space to support him as the same crowd that took away our last lunar ventures will be howling their usual hate and negativity. We need to be steady in our support which should be couched in practical terms. For the president, the moon should always be presented as real estate to be developed. For Congress, it should be presented as jobs and technological development that will create more jobs. My hope is that our lunar outpost will be ultimately much like our outposts in Antarctica. We will build it and open it to countries and companies with the proviso they pay to utilize our facilities. I see it as an anchor from which others venture into the lunar plains and mountains. In effect, like St. Louis was for the early American pioneers.

In 1975, Monogram Models announced the release of their 1/48 scale B-17 Flying Fortress. For years, building this kit has been a rite of passage for model builders. Anyone who has built the legendary Monogram B-17 is familiar with the Sheperd Paine diorama featured on the pamphlet included in the box.
Thanks to the efforts of former Monogram employee Edward Sexton, several of the original Sheperd Paine dioramas now call the EAA Aviation Museum home. They are now displayed on the second story of the Eagle Hangar.

Thank you, Mr. President @POTUS, for this opportunity. It will be an honor to serve my country under your leadership. I am also very grateful to @SecDuffy, who skillfully oversees @NASA alongside his many other responsibilities.
The support from the space-loving community has been overwhelming. I am not sure how I earned the trust of so many, but I will do everything I can to live up to those expectations.
To the innovators building the orbital economy, to the scientists pursuing breakthrough discoveries and to dreamers across the world eager for a return to the Moon and the grand journey beyond--these are the most exciting times since the dawn of the space age-- and I truly believe the future we have all been waiting for will soon become reality.
And to the best and brightest at NASA, and to all the commercial and international partners, we have an extraordinary responsibility--but the clock is running. The journey is never easy, but it is time to inspire the world once again to achieve the near-impossible--to undertake and accomplish big, bold endeavors in space...and when we do, we will make life better here at home and challenge the next generation to go even further.
NASA will never be a caretaker of history--but will forever make history.
Godspeed, President Donald J. Trump, and Godspeed NASA, as America leads the greatest adventure in human history 🇺🇸

octoberskyminute.com/cm/podc… Yet another interesting podcast by the boys of the #OctoberSky Minute. This minute shows Miss Riley in the hospital visited by Homer. A hospice nurse comments. Miss Riley was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Disease in 1958, the junior year of the #RocketBoys at Big Creek High. She would live on until Aug. 1969, well past what might be expected at that time. She was involved in some early chemo tests at West Virginia Univ which may have helped but surely were rough. She taught even when she had to be carried to her classroom by stretcher. The Rocket Boys and I were privileged to be taught by her.

octoberskyminute.com/cm/podc… The boys of Oct. Sky Minute conduct a fascinating interview about buses & the Greyhound Bus Museum. Not sure where the film makers got the bus in the movie. The bus I took to Indianapolis had Trailways livery & was chartered by the Nat'l Science Fair. We picked up other participants along the way. Trailways is now part of Greyhound so it still works!

The boys talk to Rocket Boy Roy Lee Cooke & Leslie Baker of the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine about their awesome adventure into modern McDowell County, WV. One thing to keep in mind about the county the #RocketBoys grew up in is the population was over 100,000 in the 1950s, unemployment was low (but predicted to rise which my parents knew), & the education system was first-rate. Now, the population is down to less than 20,000, unemployment is high, & the schools have suffered. But we still love where we're from and Roy Lee especially has tried to provide help. My favorite organization to support is Big Creek People in Action who do an amazing job with very little. bigcreekpeopleinaction.org/
