Ribbon Cutting for New Fire Station

Fire Station 37 is located near Lincoln & Curtner and serves the south area of the Willow Glen community and the north area of the Cambrian community.

The new building is an 8,100 square foot two-story, single-fire company station that contains 2 apparatus bays, separate crew and captain’s offices, an open kitchen, dining & living room, exercise room, and 5 two-bed capacity dormitories with private restrooms.

The City’s new standards of Zero Net Carbon totally eliminate the use of natural gas. There are 82 Photovoltaic Panels generating a total of 25kW in solar power.

The project is said to have been completed on schedule and within the approved $8.8 million budget (after acquiring the city parkland it now stands on).

Human thought is still best described by metaphor, poetry, & other literary devices to express what we do not fully understand. Experience is a matter of sensibility & intuition, of seeing & hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments.

Takeoff

This Way to the Rocket Launch Live
Spinning the Engines up to Speed

Thousands of operations are performed before the rocket can leave the launch pad, and dozens of engineering cameras track these operations.

This is also a good preview of NASA’s super heavy-lift launch vehicle, the Space Launch System (SLS), mankind’s new vehicle for the next trip to the Moon.

The first flight of Artemis and the full Orion spacecraft is scheduled to launch on SEP 05.

Update: The launch date was actually Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 6:47 AM (UTC).
