Houston, we have ourselves a ball game! A byproduct of a Houston based Super Bowl is the media's fascination with NASA and desire to team up with NASA to make some awesome football space crossover clips. Fox Sports descended upon Johnson Space Center last week to shoot a promo in a trainer Mission Control room called the White Front Control Room. Flight Controllers were invited to sit on NFL themed consoles and take orders from Jimmy Johnson, announcer for Fox Sports, posing as the Flight Director. Other Mission Control employees were invited to the viewing room, a fellow Co-Op and I got to watch the promo filming. Jimmy was a natural Flight Director, passionately and powerfully presenting the script. Here is a clip with Jimmy's Mission Control segment. Fox Sports announcers also had the opportunity to film in orange flight suits and on top of a Space Shuttle mock-up.
Over the past few years NASA's media presence has been increasing due to human exploration themed movies and now the Super Bowl. Love the public's interest in space from those in lab coats who studies ripples in time space to view gravity to those who think watching a rocket launches are cool. Science literacy is for everyone!
Work wise, user testing was conducted for a stowage app that can assist astronauts with (un/re)loading cargo ships. We performed tests in the Space Vehicle Mock-Up Facility inside International Space Station nodes.

Rusty’s Note: Most of us have grown tired this week of POTUS’s NFL rants and the subsequent millionaire player’s responses. Stand For The Anthem... Take A Knee… Tune In… Tune Out… There are so many other pressing issues that deserve our nation’s attention. But just bare with me here and I promise, at the end, you’ll see a 35 second video of scarcely dressed ladies that will definitely make you feel more… Patriotic.
Whether you are an American Sports fan or Constitutional 1st Amendment fan, of which I am both, your fandom was recently blitzed by our Commander & Chief. Last week, while at a political rally in the deep south of Alabama, our President declared that all NFL players who take a knee during the singing of our national anthem are SOB’s and should be fired, “You’re Fired!” The following morning, via Twitter, he disinvited Steph Curry’s Golden State Warriors to White House for their February... ‘Wink, Wink’... long desired NBA Championship Celebration.
POTUS’s full court press didn’t stop there… He took it way beyond overtime by engaging in an entire weekend’s worth of patriotic / boycottic NFL tweetstorms. Ignoring an agenda of hurricane duties and possible golf outings.
Nonetheless, his ‘flag waving point’ was firmly planted (and retweeted by loyal Russian bots around the globe).
A ‘manipulated point’ heard loud and clear by officials in all mainstream American sports.
A ‘false point’ that influenced, owner’s like the NFL’s Jerry Jones to split the protesting difference by having his Cowboys take a historic five second knee-drop before the anthem on Monday Night Football to the country’s second most important pigskin league, the Legends Football League (former known as the Lingerie Football League) to announce that it’s lovely-looking-players will “stand in salute of our flag.”
A patriotic touchdown scored round the world!
In the end, the Commissioner of Make America Great Again and his 62,984,825 mandate-less votes, deserve all the credit for turning an almost overlooked protest - of a shameful mark on our nation’s moral character - into a reason for “Women Of The Gridiron” to stand up, face the flag and turn their asses ‘just so’ towards the camera for our Star Spangled Banner!
Christian Mccaffrey #22 Carolina Panthers - Running Back
23 years old. 5'11" 205lbs
Christian is a Grade A animal. He currently holds the Panther's franchise record for most receptions by any player in a single season...and he's just starting to heat up. He's the son of a former NFL player and his mom was a D1 college athlete. All of his younger brothers are currently playing college football as well. He has greatness running in his blood it seems. Christian comes off as quite the charmer. He's got the all American good looks mixed with a killer smile. The kind of stud mothers dream of seeing their daughter with and fathers would be so proud to call their son in law. Yet it seems once he got that girl in bed she would suddenly start to reconsider. He would take off his shirt revealing Thor level muscles that would soon be grabbing her and pushing a thick dick head deep inside her. He has the strength and stamina to pound with abandon. All 205lbs of him driving in his long cut dick with each thrust. It's not the kind of sex a nice girl would expect from such a kind mild mannered football player...but it's the only kind of sex he ever has 😈. Christian is currently dating the model Olivia Culpo who seems to have acquired a taste for the pounding only alpha football studs can give. She was previously dating the former New England Patriot, Danny Ammendola and then Tim Tebow before that. I'm sure Christian is happy to have a pussy that's up for the challenge and willing to give him exactly what he needs. Alphas don't know how to have gentle sex. They only know how to breed.
Braxton Berrios No. 10 – New York Jets WR
24 years old. 5'9" 190lbs
Certified stud. Whoever said you needed to be tall to be an alpha. Any dude would give his left nut to be as manly as Braxton. He must just make pussy melt with his dick. The kind of guy girls beg not to wear a condom. They want his sons 😂. He's free to blow his load wherever he wants.
