I thought it would be fun to see what everyone does for a living.

@exexec Wow! How cool is THAT!! What is your most awesome experience?

@LadyGrace Going to the Cape a few weeks before the first Space Shuttle mission and going up the launch tower to where the astronauts enter the Orbiter.

@exexec Wow.... I can't even imagine how exciting that would be. You were truly blessed.

@LadyGrace I am grateful for all the opportunities that came my way over the years.

@exexec I'm sure you are. Do you have any photos you could share of your experiences? Did you get the astronauts autographs? What a thrill it would be to go to outer space and just to experience what they have, to see the beauty of the Earth from so far in space. Let me ask you something crazy and perhaps silly. Did anyone ever discuss with you the subject of aliens or that they had seen one? Like a UFO for life form on them? They probably thought even if they had seen some in outer space they wouldn't dare admit it for fear of ridicule and charges of being mad. Haha

@LadyGrace I never got astronauts' autographs since they are part of everyday life around here, plus some of my staff worked with them. I don't have any photos, but most of my experience was in meetings or at a computer. I did get to use the simulator to dock the Shuttle Orbiter with the International Space Station. I don't recall discussing UFOs or aliens with anyone in the space program.

@exexec That sounds like such fun, playing with the simulator to dock the Shuttle Orbiter. Thanks for sharing all that with us.

@LadyGrace You are welcome.
