Mission Control

Okay, so I don't usually post about work, but I figured this was worth it. Even though I have been "front room" certified for over a year and have over 1000 hrs of console time already...this is my FIRST mission (STS123/1JA) working as the ADCO (Attitude Determination Control Officer) in the front room (or FCR- Flight Control Room). Here's a picture of me at the start of my first shift :). For details about the mission, read the emails I send :).

What's up with those AD differences? hehe...
Don't answer that...

Congrats on your first ADCO mission.

that's soooo cool! I'm proud of you and all that you've done. But, most of all how you've kept God as number 1 despite the obvious human temptation to make your life all about your very cool job. You are so humble and a wonderful servant of God. I know you don't need kudos from me, a mere mortal, but as a sister in Christ you're a great example for others!
