Added a little bit of info today on the final design review of the Orion crew cabin.
The next big task after this was preparing for the Artemis II Critical Design Review in 2018. This is intended the be the final major holistic design review prior to fabrication and assembly of the vehicle. One major prep activity I was responsible for was a Crew Station Review.

The impact of Artemis II on my home life can be measured by me just getting the Christmas tree down yesterday.

Listening to Ramin Djawadi’s version of Paint it Black from the 1st season of West World while working on Flight Readiness charts…one of my favorites.

First my background - Came over to Orion in 2016 after 17 years supporting ISS. I started as a life support systems instructor for ISS, then a Station Training Lead, a short time as a Capcom, and management positions for ~9 years. I left cause I wanted to contribute to our exploration goals.

Obviously we’re in the home stretch now for Artemis II launch. One major test left before the launch date gets locked in. I’ll be working the mission as a MER manager with my first shift starting 2 days prior to the mission.

Likely working my last vehicle processing shift before we try to launch this thing. It’s been a journey.

Been working on my white whale of a Christmas decoration - a working Death Star trench run. It’s the only thing I didn’t put out this year because I can’t quite get it to work reliably. Almost there though.

A remarkable view of Earth hoving into view as the Apollo 8 command module flew over the lunar surface.
That's us. That's home.

Every Christmas Eve, I would read my kids 2 books- The Night Before Christmas and A Wish for Wings that Work by Berkeley Breathed. I always assumed I would stop when they got older, but my 20 year old insists I still read it.
