NASA called and asked me to work in Mission Control for this mission! I trained 'em but left 'em early. Yet, I get to complete the circle by being a part of the actual mission for which I trained 'em. Gosh. Sigh of sheer happiness...
Workin' hard or hardly workin'?

And in front of our beautiful Stars n' Stripes...
Our entire Orbit 3 team...We split working in mission control into three equal shifts (or what we call "orbits") and handover to each other in aims of continuity of operations...
And the CATO who requested me...my girl, Toni
And our Superman CATO, Steve...my partner in backroom complaining & laughter...
