This week Terry and the crew traveled to Florida for TCDT, Terminal CountDown Test, or dress rehearsal as I like to call it. We waved goodbye to them from the runway here at Ellington and after a quick flight down to Kennedy Space Center, they jumped into the Shuttle Training Aircraft to simulate landings. They will spend a week rehearsing every step of their flight, including a simulated liftoff in the actual orbiter. I was excited to see the video on NASA channel tonight of the 130 crew after they arrived in Florida, believe it or not, it finally feels real.
