I backseated another sim this morning, with George. After only 4 sims as backseat, I feel like I am starting to get the hang of this flight controller thing. Of course I still have a ton to learn before I start working sims myself and even more to learn before I get certified, but after only four sims I’m already so much better at following along and picking up on the important information and thinking ahead to what needs to be checked. I’ve decided to make it my crusade to learn and understand all the OMS prop cases, since nobody else seems to. 🙂
Then after a quick “ARD lunch” I headed over to sit in on a meeting about a malfunctioning/dying thing they want to jettison off the station to replaced replaced with a working version of the thing. All I have to say is: we need to think harder before deciding to toss things out into oblivion. They don’t just disappear. They do end up landing somewhere, eventually.

I thought the stat was that over 17,000 man made objects have returned from space to earth without ever hitting or harming a human being, is this correct?
