Things are becoming a little bit overwhelming as we are now less than a month from launch. Last night, I had my L-30 (or launch minus 30 days) meeting and learned that I'm going to be up all night for like 4 weeks if I want to stay on Terry's schedule. Due to his launch timeline, he will be doing a complete 180 circadian rythym shift, which means he'll be sleeping all day and working all night. UUUUGGGHHH!!! I think someone needs to have a Red Bull truck at launch. The good news is that night launches are really cool and amazingly beautiful to watch. Right now, the crew trains continually and rehearses each flight day of the mission. Yesterday, they reviewed their packed personal items to be absolutely certain they have everything they need. I got a glimpse of some the crew shirts they'll be wearing and I have to say, I like the bright orange shirt best. Although, the USAFA one was pretty good too.
