So as of yesterday I am retired, had a 37+ year career working in #NASA human spaceflight, Space Shuttle and then the #Orion spacecraft. I set my retirement date in the hope that the #Artemis 2 mission, Orion’s first crewed flight, would have completed by then but Feb launch was delayed and by “cosmic coincidence” Artemis 2 finally launched yesterday - my final day. Very proud of all my colleagues and all the hard work we’ve done to get to this point. Onward to the #moon - and beyond. Ad astra.

@Nonya_Bidniss thanks! & hope you are enjoying a well deserved retirement after your years of service. In my case all my work for NASA spaceflight was as a contractor employee, but my father was NASA civil service, he started there near the beginning of Apollo in the early 60’s. So between the two of us my family has had a combined 64 continuous years supporting NASA, Apollo->Space Shuttle->Orion
