As it's a little quiet today, I thought I'd throw this out. My wife and her colleagues at JSC were profoundly moved by Suni's farewell earlier this morning. Those of us on the "outside", of course, are very moved by Suni's tearful goodbye....but those involved in station crew support seem exceptionally moved. They cried with her. There is something special about Suni...I wish I could place it.

Yep, though quiet = good for how the mission is proceeding. Really has been a good mission so far with hardly anything coming up as a fault on the orbiter.
I'm glad to hear that story, as it certainly was something newsworthy (and I did an article on it) because this sort of thing is the bridge between those involved and those that follow.

Maybe it's the bare feet...
Suni is most certainly special.

I think its that she brought some much needed personality to the program as a whole. Not that we've got a whole generation of stiffs or something in the corps. And if she like a career in my field (radio), she's already done a good job recently of jocking the air-to-ground loop this week...btw, I don't recall in recent memory anyone doing what she's been doing with her mp3 player over the loops.

Chief flight director confident in computers
http://www.floridatoday.com/floridatoday/blogs/spaceteam/2007/06/chief-flight-director-confident-in.html(Copyrighted material removed following complaint - James Lowe)
My own (JimO's) comments:
I must confess I'm a more than a little bit dismayed by Mr. Engelauf's apparent brushing off the question of what caused the original computer problems with the assurances that since the crew has found a way to get them working again, the problems are for all intents and purposes solved (he certainly gave that impression). It seems to me that the 'new NASA safety culture' should demand that the causal chain of the computer crashes be verified and that lash-ups by the crew do in fact forestall a repetition of that causal chain -- rather than just deciding, "It seems to be working so we'll assume it's OK". Until then, the uninterrupted future good health of that hardware ought to be help in deep suspicion. But now we see the view expressed that seems awfully much like "we've found one problem and fixed it, we can conveniently assume it was the only problem" -- and a NASA official feels justified in reaching that conclusion and expressing it in public less than five years after the 'Columbia' catastrophe. Am I being over-sensitive to this tone?
