Kobalt Six Inch Caliper

Yesterday, while at the hardware store, I bought  a small Caliper. I have been needing one to make building my models easier.

These things are pretty cool. Mine measures down to the thousandth of an inch, enough to register the thickness of a piece of paper. And because of the straight edged tines, it can measure the diameter of round objects easily.  It came from Lowes for roughly 30 dollars.

Today was the 40th anniversary of the launch of Apollo 11 and it will be the anniversary of the moon landing on Monday. To celebrate this historic event, Nasa and the JFK Library have created a site called WeChooseTheMoon.org. It is an animated recreation of the flight from start to finish in real time. It is quite awesome. Check it out.
