Aagh, Christmas break is ending and I've been so consumed with family and holiday activities that I haven't kept the blog up-to-date. At any rate, everyone keeps asking me what Terry has been doing and the answer is training, training, training!!! As a crew, they simulate launches and landings but then each crew member is expected to review his or her own tasks. For instance, this week, Terry rehearsed what he would be doing on flight day 5. He and Kay Hire practiced their robotics operations, Terry got in some flying hours in the T-38 and then at home, he's been reviewing the installation of the Cupola, or in layman's terms, the great big bay window that he will be adding to the Space Station. Each day is extremely busy as each crew member rehearses, practices and studies. Tomorrow I will hopefully include the 13 day flight schedule but for now, 34 days to launch.
