In Remembrance

Hey Sally.
Same old thing here. Our next generation flight control room is about 75% built. We still have the space station control room 24/7. SpaceX keeps postponing their first commercial launch to the station and the other company keeps postponing their first ever launch. I can't land the Orion on the asteroid in the simulator. I keep crashing or over-shooting. But that's why I'm not an astronaut. The new simulator is much more realistic than the old shuttle simulators. The asteroid in the simulator is very real - called "25143 Itokawa." NASA's not dead - we had over 6,000 applicants for the next astronaut class in 2013. I guess asteroids and Mars sounds appealing to alot of folks. It keeps me working. Still very busy for me. Tom |
