Brian's NASA Adventures

I'm always posting stories or pictures of Bella, so I thought now would be perfect time to share a little of the spotlight with Brian. He found out last week that he'd be able to watch the shuttle landing from Mission Control Center. This was a huge treat for him because it's usually restricted during launches/ landings for only those who actually work in Mission Control.

The landing kept getting postponed from Thursday to Friday, then to Saturday, and it ended up being Sunday morning. Here's a couple snapshots he took:









Brian will be celebrating his 11th year with NASA this summer! Here are a few pictures of his previous flights on the Vomit Comet:










I also found a couple pictures of Brian with Astronauts Neil Armstrong and Harrison Schmitt when they visited JSC to check out the Dual Glovebox Chamber. Schmitt piloted the last scheduled manned Apollo mission in Dec 1972, and of course, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.
