“It’s horrible to see smoke pouring from wounds in your own country from such a fantastic vantage point. The dichotomy of being on a spacecraft dedicated to improving life on the earth and watching life being destroyed by such willful, terrible acts is jolting to the psyche, no matter who you are.”

- Frank L. Culbertson, Commander of the ISS on September 11, 2001

Just felt my first major earthquake: a 5.6 near Los Angeles (Chino Hills to be exact). I work across the street from an air base and a truck yard so I’m used to the building rumbling when a low flying fighter jet or heavy semi truck goes by but this was a good 10-15 seconds of the building undulating. Weird!!! My coworker in Pasadena said a bunch of stuff fell off the walls/shelves in his office as he bolted out the door; at least he’s OK!
