How science weighs the pluses and minuses of space sex
You might think sex in space would be an out-of-this-world experience — but based on the scientific evidence so far, low-gravity intimacy isn’t likely to be as much of a high as it sounds. In fact, dwelling too deeply on the challenges of off-Earth sex and repr

Exhibit celebrates space station dreams and realities
The dream of having people live and work in space didn’t start with billionaire Jeff Bezos, or even with rocket pioneer Wernher von Braun. Instead, you’d have to look back at least as far as 1869 — a full century before humans walked on the moon.That’s just one of the fu

Last Saturday was the official once-a-year quasi-holiday quintessential company party at the Museum of Flight. I'm pretty sure that this will be the last corporate event of my career. Sad, not sad. It was nice to loaf around the museum with my wife, which was the best part, actually. #MuseumofFlight #museum #airplanes #Boeing #Seattle #PNW #flight #history

Planned to go to the spa today, but my body made other arrangements so instead I went to the Museum of Flight and caught the Walt Disney WWII exhibit, combining #aviation and #art, two of my favorite things. I especially loved the amazing insignia designed for various groups during the war by Disney artists. #seattle #disney #museumofflight #flight #wwii #mastoart #insignia
