I lived about 1 mile the Johnson space Center for 14 years. We had several astronauts live in our neighborhood, and I had a few friends work there. I'm just curious if there are any folks here that worked there.

I didn't work there but lived in Clear Lake right down the road and my husband and father in law both worked there and almost everyone I dated before marrying worked there.

Ever think about being an astronaut?

Never. I'm not a risk taker.

Do you by chance spend anytime watching the Live_ISS_Stream on USTREAM? There are several JSC techs that log on the social feed while at work, very interesting to talk with them,
