About me:
I'm a satellite and I'm in orbit, so I've been really busy. I've seen over a 170 gamma-ray bursts so far and I have a great view of everyone on Earth. I have a brother, GLAST. He's a bit hyper and annoying, but until he launches I will have my space.
If you really want to know where I am, like right now, or now, or even...now...go here.
You can also get Swift merchandice, shirts, mugs, etc., here.
Who I'd like to meet:
I’ve been meeting a lot of gamma rays, actually, and they’ve always been who I’ve wanted to meet. Of course, Patrick Stewart, yeah, I’d like to meet him. But, well, he’d have to travel just a little, as I’m not exactly coming down to meet him! If you’re interested in seeing a map of the gamma-rays I’ve met, and some nifty write ups about where they came from, you can go here.

I just watched a video of your launch into space. Beautiful! I was in central FL at the time, and I wish I had seen it, but I was too busy with post-hurricane craziness. Good thing the weather cooperated on launch day.

Hey Swift, hope you feel better soon. It's getting a bit boring around here with no GRBs to chase! :(

I'm so sorry to hear about your attitude control problem! I hope to see you back up and running in a couple weeks. (It's a good thing I'm on vacation, because I'd be a bit bored at work without you.)

Hey Swift, I have your sticker! You look very beautiful in it I must say. I think I will keep it on a high closet shelf with other special things: pictures of my marching band, my trusty clarinet, and the ashes of my dead dog Lady.
