Sigh. Sleepy. I'm so tired today and don't really know why. It didn't help that I had a training session this morning. They are interesting, and yet sometimes yawn-inducing. It's just the way it goes. Today's class was the first of a series of three about the DPS, which includes the GPCs, IDPs, MDMs, MMUs, and LRUs. I learned how to do an IPL, restrings, OPS transitions, freeze-dry a GPC, engage the BFS and all sorts of stuff.

See? I told you NASA-speak wasn't all acronyms...

Or maybe it is.

All signs are pointing to NET May 11 for the STS-117 launch. That's "No Earlier Than," which sucks. At this point, I think they should just switch the external tanks. Get one that's not pockmarked by hail. I know it sets back the launch schedule but we're getting close to that anyway.

My mission is cursed. :(
