  “space float” sounds under dramtic and, well, lazy. Walking is active, floating is what you do in a pool.

  In NASA Official-speak it’s still EVA – extra vehicular activity. Shame EVA never caught on in the public mind.

  EVA I like.

  I was a space geek when I was a kid (had my own model Saturn V), so you think I would have remembered that.

  Getting old is a crime. Or a shame. Or something like that. ;)

  Space geek?

  Space Camp, Space Academy, Space Academy II, and Aviation Challenge. Such were my younger days….

  And now, Owen, you’re in Wiscnsin. Yes, aviation, we’ve got that. But it’s a long way from the Space Coast in Florida or the Mojave. Or even Seattle.

  *sigh*

  My ambition was to be a Navy Pilot. Life intervened.

  Man, I hope your call sign was going to be Saber. I don’t think I could handle a naval aviator called Boots. ;)

  I don’t think I could handle a naval aviator called Boots.

  But how cool if his wingman’s call sign was ‘Puss’.

  I don’t need to belabor that pun, I think.
