@thejaynebrook @WeMakeMovies Congratulations on becoming a filmmaker yourself! From your early career writer, WIOU and SIRENS!

@ShuttleAlmanac Maybe the robotics branch (ROBO) in the astronaut office? Have never heard of patches like this, but that doesn't mean they don't exist ;)

[Michael Cassutt @MichaelCassutt]

@ShuttleAlmanac Matveyev is either gone or about to be gone -- already announced.

Great fun talking about Mr. Abbey here!

For years I wanted to write a comedy titled Animal House of Representatives…. Has the moment arrived or is it already too late?

Please, your aqualords

Thank you!

Doesn’t seem like it for many reasons (EVA console in mission control not active during purported activity, no air to ground talk detected and ATG not encrypted, etc.)

[Space Shuttle Almanac @ShuttleAlmanac]

@MichaelCassutt hey any updates on that possible STS-27R EVA? Just curious.

[Michael Cassutt @MichaelCassutt]

I recall that Michael Piller was a fan and brought Disch in for a freelance episode. Disch was not pursuing TV writing, and the script was a page rewrite - likely no fault of Disch’s.

[David J. Schow @DavidJSchow]

Riddle me this: Sturdy, reliable Tom Disch, who wrote one of my favorite single short stories of all time, ALSO somehow wrote the worst MIAMI VICE episode in history during what I presume was a brief flirtation with screenwriting. Does anyone know more details?

[Michael Cassutt @MichaelCassutt]

@mybadauditions From a longtime fan, and fellow Minnesotan

[Michael Cassutt @MichaelCassutt]

@IDesdinova Well, I hope it does well but I have zero involvement in it.

[Michael Cassutt @MichaelCassutt]

@planet4589 @ShuttleAlmanac This wasn’t a training group but rather a Korolev bureau cosmonaut commemorative taken years after Salyut-4. Makarov and Sevastyanov flew in that program but not the others.

@alisonmartino Worked with Robert W. Morgan years later - he had stories

A bit of a mixed memory

Continuing my barrage of social media activity, here is some background to my new ANALOG novella, "Kingsbury 1944".
