The commander and crew of Discovery welcome you to the Missions of RV-103!
Gypsy is a professional of 20+ years and a very tolerant and patient woman when it comes to me.
Our fearful leader, Commander Merlin, is our cat and she is neither patient nor tolerant. Sometimes I am not sure as to why she continues to claim ownership of us; though it might be due to the fact that we buy her food and clean her litter box.
Rocketman, that is me, recently took an early retirement from Kennedy Space Center. I worked on the thermal protection system of the Space Shuttle Fleet. Shuttle Discovery was the first ship I worked on and it has always had a special place in my heart. The official NASA designation for Discovery is Orbiter Vehicle 103 or OV-103, hence the name RV-103 when it came time to name our RV.
The purpose of this little blog is to chronicle our adventures and mis-adventures as we start our new life as full-time RV’ers over the next 2-3 years traveling the country. The crew of Discovery hopes that you will join us in our explorations.
Be safe and well,
Commander Merlin, Gypsy, and Rocketman
