Hi everybody--

I work for RIM at the Mississauga campus. I'm one of 15
finalists in Red Gate Software's "DBA In Space" contest. First prize
is a suborbital space flight to an altitude of 100km, which is the
official start of "outer space".

Voting for the winner started a couple days ago, and goes until
next Tuesday Dec 13 at 12:00GMT. Voters can vote once per day, per
email address, at the URL in my signature below.

VOTE ME OFF THIS ROCK!! I promise if I win, I won't get drunk and get kicked off the spaceship.

How can we know you are a RIM employee?

I would link you to the press release, but because I don't have enough forum posts yet, I can't post links. If you do a google search for "dbainspace press release finalists", you'll find it. The finalists are listed, along with their employers.

Spaceflight trivia: Gordon Cooper calculated his "Faith 7" reentry angle by using his watch, looking at the stars out the window and doing the math IN HIS HEAD.

Maybe I should bone up on my orbital geometry.
