He had everything in there. Technical, concise, passion, firmness - it's so brilliant. Was the focus of one of the first articles I wrote on the site 10 years ago! (messy format, as it was from about three versions of the CMS ago)http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2005/07/hitman-hill-lays-down-the-law/ If someone can edit out that question and answer from that point in the video (and through to Mr. Hale's first answer), please find a way. I want to share it on youtube.

And many thanks to mtakala24's skills, here's the edited part of that MSB, with Mr. Hill in top form and Mr. Hale joining mid-way.I'm going to hard link this, so some explanations some folks may have missed earlier in the thread.This features the brilliant Paul Hill - then Flight Director for STS-114, and went on to become MOD Director - dealing with a reporter during the the STS-114 Flight Day 2 (I believe it was FD2) MSB. I remember watching this live as it was the first mission the site covered when we started it 10 years ago. We know Flight Directors sometimes have to deal with these briefings after a very busy shift, so it's usually best - and usually the case - that reporters should ask short, specific questions. That was very much the case for later flights, as it was mainly space beat reporters and they knew their stuff, you know, like Bill, Robert, Mark and so on.....Given this was RTF, there was a lot of media attention and a lot of reporters not from the space beat asking questions. The reporter asking this question was somewhat all over the place and asking Mr. Hill something he had already addressed. How he dealt with it was wondrous in my eyes, even if it probably wasn't "how to deal with bad questions, 101" (I'm guessing there's a media training module in the MOD classes). However, I thought this was professional, to the point, passionate and just downright brilliant.His answer said more about MOD and SSP to me than a 1000 books ever could. I dare say he - via this one answer - shaped how I reported things on this site over the coming years.
Maybe I'm reading (hoping) too much in this Twitter post today: "Back in Denver for space work again. Hope to get Americans flying into space on American craft soon!"but isn't SNC the only spaceflight show in town in Denver? Is Mr. Hale working with SNC on DC?

New post -- "Pilot Error is Never Root Cause"https://waynehale.wordpress.com/2015/07/29/pilot-error-is-never-root-cause/For what it's worth, one little nitpick -- I believe STS-28 was Brewster Shaw's second command of a Shuttle mission. His first was STS-61B on Atlantis in late 1985.
Another blog entry, "hot off the press". Titled "Specific Plans".Thank you Mr Hale.https://waynehale.wordpress.com/
