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.
