Welcome home, Integrity! After yesterday's successful splashdown of Artemis II, the good people of Mission Control took a few moments to celebrate the historic return to the moon. To mark the occasion, I provided them an animated graphic that was displayed on the front screen of the control room.
It was Columbia, and it was heading back to KSC after undergoing maintenance in Palmdale, CA. After the loss of Columbia, I looked into NASA's archives to get more information of the landing we saw. NASA pictures didn't have the FL landing, but they had the departure from Edwards AFB.

Gus Grissom nearly drowned. The hatch blew too early, water started rushing into the capsule, Grissom had to get out but his suit lost bouyancy and had to struggle to stay on the surface. Rescue helicopters tried to save the capsule first but inadvertently made it worse for him to stay afloat.
Even scarier if you watch what happened to Gus Grissom in the Mercury era.
I meant to share the story when I first heard it, but stuff was happening. www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/a...
Okay. I can breathe!
I'll feel better when I see the chutes deploy.

Two of the most memorable places I visited in the Hawaiian islands were the towns of Lahaina and Hale'iwa. I watched the first burn to the ground a few years ago and now the second is getting wiped out by a flood. 😭
