Nusil CV-2946

Confirmation of the perfect process,

Nusil buttered into the slot of a 3D printed template, 

leveled with a steel ruler and with the template lifted off,

the exact right thickness of a perfectly formed

rectangle of Nusil CV-2946, expertly

handled with white gloves,

all this in preparation for bonding two surfaces

bound for GEO.

and yet, remember that this all started with 

peanut butter smeared into a template cut out

from old business cards at my desk

 in a windowless office

in a non-descript office building.

This is likely not the NASA way.

It is my way.
