Speaker and former engineer of kiplings magazine. His book is shuttle houston, my life in the Center Seat of Mission Control. Its great to have you here by the way.

We see lots of excellent books by mostly astronauts from their years in the Shuttle Program and i want people to remember that for every astronaut that flies there are tens of thousands contributing to the program and there is a broader perspective i figured it was time we captured some of those from the Control Center.
