Up the Irons. A little project I did this weekend! #IronMaiden #AcesHigh #FlightofIcarus

Spectacular launch yesterday! Behind this door and various backrooms is where the operations magic happens. Best of luck to my wife, friends, and colleagues for the rest of the mission. Down the hall I’ll be wrapping up my 7700 hr on console. #ADCO #ArtemisII

Today, it feels a little different around here. There are faces I haven’t seen since they left the ISS program. It’s absolute lunarcy! I’ll be just down the hall flying ISS while teams prep for another history making event! Godspeed Artemis! #ADCO #ArtemisII

Hoping today is a little less sim like. Who will walk through the doors today? #ADCO

Over MCC, a new dawn ushers in, well, me. Another set of ADCO shifts to add to the count. In other news, if the Rocket and weather cooperate, this place will be humming with an additional team of folks starting Wednesday evening! #ADCO

Unusual configuration we’re flying for the next week all in the name of safety. Even after 25+ years, we still do something new every once in a while! #ADCO

Time to spend time with Lady ISS…the fastest vehicle I’m licensed to operate. Hit the “Need for Speed” trifecta today! #ADCO

Spent some quality time with Lady Bo this morning! Quick little flight down to Mustang Beach! Then flew back up the coast! Good news, the runway looks like it was recently resurfaced and there is a new parking tarmac that can accommodate more than the 4-6 planes!!

Congratulations to my Japanese colleagues for a successful HTV-X arrival! I worked on this project several years ago from the safety side. Looking forward to seeing the live views of the vehicle when I step into FCR-1 here in a few moments! #ADCO

Another day of doing what I love. #ADCO

Last shift of this set. Still flying backwards today. See ya next time. #ADCO

Wearing green today to entice the space gods to keep the skies clear. IYKYK! #ADCO

Fun fact: ISS is flying backwards this week during the solar high beta period to offer shading for some modules. Some of my data looks a little different because of this. #ADCO

On-call check-in complete! Now I go about my day…in hopes of not getting a call. #ADCOoncall

Happy Friday…if you celebrate. Another shift with a twist. Assuming we don’t have a planning nightmare today, no one is coming on after me as I will take the console on-call. That’ll be a first for me. #ADCO

Shortly after taking today’s shift, I will cross 7500 hrs of console support. Now that ADCO has gone on-call for weekend support, I won’t have as many opportunities to grow that number. I think I can get 8000. 8500 might be a stretch. #ADCO

Some nights you just want to sit by the Eiffel Tower and read a book! #BruceDickinson #WhatDoesThisButtonDo

Love me some just take the day off and fly days… #Houston#EastBernard#Smithville

Another happy place! Gosh, the weather is practically perfect! All the other pilots in the area thought so too! #corvette #flying #corvetteflying

One of the perks of having an office that faces towards Ellington Field is that periodically you spy some fascinating aircraft in the airspace. Here is NASA’s WB-57!
