All those pilots when meet them gives you the imprecion that they are the super genius of the school class and so down to earth,(althought their job is to fly) low profile, always kind,and calm. But I know this is a result of hudge knowledge of everything, mathematics, aerospace e.t.c take responcibility of everything in job and life, and the same time they strap themshelfs on a rocket full of wepons facing the chalenges their job gives them, including "fighting " on the air...everyday on their lives. Those pilots have more hostile experience than most pilots on the planet together! Each and everyone of them are heros in life and not only.... and you know you can count on them!

I will say that I have one of those cable managers that sticks to the ceiling and I connect it to the Quest 3 cable, it suspends it and I can NOT recommend that enough.

Melos and Delos are indeed, two completely different islands. Delos was almost as sacred for us as the Oracle of Delphi. Alas, the invaders destroyed most of our constructions. Lastly, the sewage and water canals are a misconception they come from the Roman Empire. Our Mathematicians had designed those when Rome was still nothing but a stingy village. The Mathematician Thales, who happens to be from the island you visited, managed to start drilling holes in a mountain and meet in the middle, a task which even today isn't easy. The island still uses it for its water needs. By the way, the commander's phrase to you made me shed a tear or two, "may the sword of Perseus be with you."
