PowerPoint is being used in the simulated Space Missions (good thing)

Hubby Bruce was browsing his normal link set this morning and found the
following article on mars.com:
Making a List, Checking It Twice - Interview with Dean Eppler (Part 2)
http://www.marstoday.com/news/viewpr.html?pid=18037

The bottom few paragraphs talk about a great new use for a PPT presentation.
The astronauts used to have a paper checklist for ensuring the suits are
working correctly. Now, thanks to a heads up display and a little ingenuity,
the checklist is a PowerPoint presentation the astronauts can just page
through.

(FYI: This is only being tested on the Earth at the moment.)

Read the article - it is an awesome application of PPT!

I believe life is meant to be lived. But:
if we live without making a difference, it makes no difference that we lived

I just hope that NASA has applied Service Pack 1. "Hmm, that picture of
how to properly seal the space suit seems to be blank."
