Tom, thought you would get a chuckle out of this.
What's new at NASA these days? Anything?

Hee hee!

We're gonna capture an asteroid next.

My MCC-21 projects (21st century) -

Blue Flight Control Room - finished. It's beautiful
White Flight Control Room - Opening ceremony June 3rd
Red Flight Control Room - we still use it for training but we're shutting it down
Flight Control Room #1 - used by space station team. The team will move to the white FCR next year so I can upgrade FCR-1

Tom

How pray tell, do you capture an asteroid? Or was that a joke
and ya got me?!!

WOW, I hope that pick a small one. It may decide to
plummet to earth.:eek:

Hehehe...years ago after a get-together of MSers in Houston, I missed out on a personally-guided tour of Tom's workplace because I was too hung over. :(

Good to hear from you, Tom! If you ever get to Iowa, reciprocity will be be sweet!

I could probably actually do this. I took a bunch of pics of the old shuttle control room before we tore it apart. It really was a second home for me for years.

It's much better in person though. I've been told I give the best behind the scenes tours. I spend 60 hours a week in the mission control center and have studied its history extensively (I gotta know the past if I need to fix the present). I know the complex and its contents like the back of my hand. Nah. I really don't know the back of my hand that well.

As far as asteroids. I don't want to fuel speculation, but our new simulator involves trying to land the new space vehicle on an asteroid called Itokawa. It may be because we know a lot about it. I've tried it in the simulator. I crashed the first time and grossly overshot it the second time. I don't think I'm astronaut material...

Tom

Tom-

NASA justs need to get a really big butterfly net to capture Itokawa :wink:
