So very sorry about such a fine cat. Looks much like our girl Axel who came to us as a kitten under a car. She looked after me well during my hip replacement recovery. Cats are amazing

Copy of the Atomic Pioneer medal Nixon gave to Groves, Conant and V. Bush in 1975. Set in acrylic designed by Charles Caldwell/ORNL. I've never seen one and info was hard to find. Anyone know what the copies were for? @wellerstein.bsky.social @conelrad6401240.bsky.social @atomicanalyst.bsky.social

A nifty little high quality German camera that uses 110 instamatic film. This one was owned by Dr. Fritz Meuller, a German rocket scientist of Paperclip. Mueller did the gryoscopic inertial guidance systems to get man to the moon. Plan to try it out. @casillic.bsky.social @nuclearanthro.bsky.social
