Giddy.<br /><br />Sure there is some concern. But the excitement is overbearing.<br /><br />Its like getting ready for your showtime, you've been over the problems and the fixes, you know your crew has, you know your ground crew has as well. You mull it over in your brain. The one thing that you just can't think about is the unknown because its unknown, and that may be the scariest part. So you think on your tasks, your mission, procedure. And you pray real hard when the pilot engages all thrusters.<br /><br />(comments based on previous experience in the Air Force as a part of an air crew. Maybe the astronauts are going through something like that, or maybe not. But this is how I feel.)<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/laugh.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p> </p><p><font color="#0000ff"><em>"SCE to AUX" - John Aaron, curiosity pays off</em></font></p> </div>
