My Brother Jim the NASA Scientist


Jim has been very active with several NASA missions over the last year - including expeditions to Chile and the Mojave Desert.

Here is a recent picture of his balloon 'Flourish' on the Mojave mission, where they were lava tube hunting from his lighter than air platform. That is Jim piloting Flourish.

Here are some links to the mission:
