Today was a fairly good day. We're half way through the mission. There is talk that the mission may be extended a day. Today we handed over attitude control to the orbiter and they turned the mated stack around the other way. Now we're flying forward...usually when the orbiter is attached we fly backwards. We fly backwards to protect the orbiter's belly from micrometeorites. For today, we're flying forwards to protect the orbiter's main landing gear from thermal extremes.
The end of today's shift snuck up on us today. We weren't ready for the next team. Time flies when you are engrossed in your job. So the last few hours of the shift were a maddening whirl...
i like a maddening whirl...
