MASS, awesome job. Watching nasa tv today i was like hey that's Mike Leinbach - I know that guy, he pushes dat button that launches a spaceship. Seriously, noone can present nasa in such a technically competent way, but with such a unique human touch. Mass does a unique job with these, and would love to see plenty more!

I say this with all the respect in the world, but, seriously, NASA folks, you are speaking to a general audience in these. Please refrain from abbreviations. If you're going to use them, spell it out, please. "Mass", awesome job with these!

The "stop call" was used in STS-51 in the last few seconds before the launch watch?v=SdbhP3xArGw .. but I don't know if it was stopped by mission control or by the computers...

The guy I wouldn't want to be in the RSO. THAT job has to be nerve racking...
-
I would like to see what the NASA TEST DIRECTOR and below him does since I'm a ex-games tester and now software tester.

Oh come on! This is all fake. I've seen real launches in the movies. They always have a little clear plastic window that they flip open, and then they push the button. And then BOOM!
-
Oh yeah they totally need one of those big red "That was easy" buttons!

It's okay, people, we are not completely swearing off spaceflight. NASA is working on a new project that will allow us to return to the moon, take supplies to the ISS, and even travel to Mars. It is more than time for the shuttle program to be retired and for us to explore new and better ways of getting to where we want to go. Launch Control will still be there, if on hiatus for a couple of years. :)

@ArmyFtBall It's only for a little while until the Constellation project is finished. I think it's perfectly okay to retire these shuttles that were built in the 70s and are falling apart (just look at what's happened with Discovery so far) and also that we have put any hard feelings with the Russians aside in order to cooperate in furthering *humanity's* learning about science in general and space in particular. Russians are people, too, and are just as eager as we are to get exploring!

I'm scared for the ones that are going to be left behind when the shuttle is no more. :( Such a shame we can't keep them.

Thanks for the idea behind these snapshots, and congratulations to vibrant, deep-voiced Massimino. What a contrast to the endless, patronizing repetitions of NASA's PAOs.
