The grind never stops! 🚀 Already working hard on this cool Florida afternoon.

🚀 Today is Sim Day! 🚀

We are simulating a mission of the space shuttle, Atlantis. There are two sides: Mission Control and Cockpit. Mission Control’s job is to make sure that Cockpit gets home safely by maintaining good communication about the operation of the shuttle. Cockpit’s job is to run the various systems of the shuttle and run the mission, as well as landing the shuttle safely. Here, we are running sim. In the front: Red, Alissa, and Sofa (in order l to r) on Mission Control. In the back: Grant, Jeronimo, and Kaili as cockpit.
