Added 1 new A* page:Here's the storyboard for today's page; I think I had some fun with this doodle at the time:
And in a way I think sometimes I've gotten too conservative with my final page art, wanting it to look reasonably professional and all, whereas not so long ago I would have let it go a little more toward the wild side. Hm hm hm.

My brother pointed out this article in the local paper saying that NASA just awarded $270 million in contracts to four companies for shuttle programs: Boeing got the most, at $92.3 million, then $80 million went to SpaceX, $75 million to Sierra Nevada Corp, and $22 million to Blue Origin. Those aren't really huge figures, when you consider for instance that Boeing made a profit of over $3 billion last year, and NASA had an annual budget of $17.6 billion a few years ago, but eh well the whole point of farming shuttle programs out to commercial ventures is to get it done cheaply, so I guess we'll see what they can do.
