While you’re busy working on the ATV reboost homework questions posted by Rhett Allain (reminder: there are prizes!) – or if you’re looking for, uhmmm, a somewhat less challenging challenge – here is Question 1 in this week’s fabulous ATV-4 Mission Quiz (we’ll post three questions this week). Thanks to the team at EAC and especially ATV training specialist Lionel Ferra for the inspiration!

Hint: Both sources may be near the same city…
