It will never match what Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee (representative of the district including the Johnson Space Center) asked at a hearing. When NASA reps were there testifying and showing video of one of the Mars rovers, Ms Lee asked: "Can we drive that thing over to where Neil Armstrong landed?"

That'd be one hell of a drive...

I'm not sure why I got that but I think I did.

Maybe, but it doesn't have that Pavolvian zing as "ding, you're now free to blah blah blah".

There will be no loss of training capacity with the simulator move. Two simulators have already been contracted out to cover the two that will be down.

I dig it!
