Countdown


As I'm typing tonight, I noticed the countdown clock on my computer reading 5 days, 4 hours and 11 minutes until launch. Time is just going to fly by. Today the crew had an ascent simulator and rehearsed more procedures. Terry also reviewed the locations of where his personal items will be stowed on the orbiter. One of the first questions I was asked was "What are they eating in quarantine?" Well, the crew has a team of ladies that cook for them, and I believe he mentioned ham and hashbrowns for breakfast and roasted chicken and asparagus for dinner. Terry also mentioned that they take fresh sandwiches up with them on launch day to eat after they reach orbit. I got a laugh out of that thinking about someone running to Subway an hour before liftoff to get fresh sandwiches to stash in the orbiter.

  1. That is funny. Wonder if they could pick up a grilled chicken with extra pickles for me?!?! At least they eay healthy. By the way, who pays for the sandwiches, NASA or the runner? See you Saturday, Stacy.
