Happy Birthday Carter!
Edit: And Holden! 🙂
I guess there’s nothing like getting thrown back into the fire to make you get over your bad day. I had another sim this morning, a FDO/Booster, which means that all sorts of craziness happens. Though it wasn’t nearly as tough as Tuesday night, it was still challenging, and I did pretty well.
One of the most interesting aspects of working in the control center has nothing to do with flight control though — it’s the interesting and/or famous people that pass through. This morning I looked up on the TV that shows the front room (which is about 20 feet from where I sit) to see Buzz Aldrin wandering around with a couple camera guys. He was in the room for about 20 minutes and basically debriefed our last run for the cameras; I think it was for NASA TV or something. As I walked past the door on my way to the coffee, I glanced in the doorway and yep. Buzz Aldrin.
Random.
It’s my birthday too!!!
The question really is, why didn’t he stroll through the MPSR?
An excellent question Michelle!
I think it would be really cool to meet Buzz Lightyear .. but that’s just me! 🙂
the crazy thing is… that anyone recognizes buzz aldrin. was he played by tom hanks or gary sinese? just kidding.
yay me!!!
