When I was putting this podcast up on YouTube, I needed a picture of Mike Herr WA6ARA who was my guest on this episode. I found a picture of Mike activating a summit... THE SUMMIT OF WIZARD ISLAND! That is Wizard Island (above). Mike and his wife are shown at the summit (below).
I really liked talking to Mike, and to listening again to our conversation. But I realize now I should have asked him about parachutes! I'd been talking about the great picture of the Phoenix lander under canopy as it descended to Mars. Mike made and tested parachutes for NASA!
