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

@BrianRoemmele I was working the ADCO back room position (HawkI) for that event! It was such a surreal and scary moment even though we knew what was happening.

Major Tom. This is an empty space suit released into orbit. On February 3, 2006, astronauts from Expedition 12 pushed an old Russian space suit away from the International Space Station. The suit was fitted with radio equipment and turned into a tiny satellite called SuitSat. As it drifted through space, it broadcast signals for a short time before the equipment failed. From Earth, it looked eerily like a floating human figure, silently moving through the darkness of orbit. For months, this lifeless suit circled our planet no astronaut inside, no control, just a hollow reminder of human presence in space until atmospheric drag finally pulled it back down. Some called him Major Tom, when ground control had the last message…

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

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

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

@StansaidAirport That occurred at my home airport. We had a string of 3 or 4 incidences there is a matter of a few months.

Just majestic. A triple salchow followed by a camel spin then an upright double. That's an easy 9.5 in the singles event and I can't wait to see him compete in the pairs.

Changes in attitude, changes in latitude: @Space_Station We rotated 180 degrees and flew backwards for yesterday’s Soyuz docking. This is a bit long but keep watching for the surprise in the middle.
