For flights, you could just query the source directly: https://matrix.itasoftware.com/

Not sure if that's "the source" since the airlines are the source for their own data (and Southwest doesn't allow ITA to search their flights.)

On the other hand, Google owns ITA and I think the airline websites are typically frontends for it anyway.

The funny part is that the flight search portion comes from their acquisition of ITA, which I was a part of (worked at ITA when it was acquired). The airlines contract with that system for their own internal search - so who is the real customer there?

I have a live stream of my bee hives, the pi reads the stream from the camera and frame copies it to the correct format for YouTube live: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2E5s3LTU9ObXjiOL7K8KPg/liv...

I actually went to Joe Walker Middle School, he certainly wasn't forgotten then.

I don't think many at Dryden or the surrounding area forgot him. He was held in high regard by colleagues, but apparently this didn't count at NASA HQ
