Hey Overflow,
I really like what you do here and your love for the STS.

I work for a NASA contractor and have done so for over 18 years.
After the Columbia disaster and the resulting investigation, NASA decided to install a UHF radio station as white sands space harbor. I was selected to be the antenna operator for that station. I had the awesome privilege of working over 20 launches and landings. As a part of that team, I gained a new respect for the machine and the people that were responsible for it's operation. I still work for NASA (contractor) but I miss the shuttle missions. I miss talking to the astronauts. I have no idea what our mission is or if we even have one but I digress...
I love what you do keeping the memory of the shuttle alive and being a cheerleader for space exploration.
