Thwarted Again!
Being the consummate internet lurker and aficionado, one would think I would be on top of all of the various and wonderful happenings within the aerospace industry. Actually, I do know things, but sometimes that knowledge come too late. Blue Origin is a fascinating company involved in the private spaceflight industry, and it turns out they were offering internships. Never mind that they are located thousands of miles away from my home; that bothers me not at all. But the application deadline is this week, and so I am thus rendered a bit...hmm... disappointed in myself. And with the current buzz about SpaceShipTwo, I've been riding high on this mood of optimism about space. Yes, I have been thwarted. No, it is not the end of the world. I have time enough for many things, so now back to listening to my ska collection. The Planet Smashers are awesome.

Dear Mr. Singularity,
The deadline is still a vacuous 60 hours away. If you focus you can easily make it. The application will take less than an hour, even if you expound on your experience as a born engineer. That only leaves a glowing letter of recommendation from a professor, so I would encourage you to start asking for such....right now.
You can obtain the application at:

Cheers,

You are quite right; I can scarcely believe I actually rationalized my inaction this way. And now, the thing is done!
