With an accelerated schedule of launch in just two months, NASA and contractor launch and support teams labor steadily with six-day work weeks by day and night shifts

About This Quote

The amount of people who help launch a new space shuttle is impressive. In fact, when you hear that a launch is in two months, you know there are a lot of people involved. That’s because the support team is massive. On Saturday, they went straight from work to a church service.

On Sunday, they’ll be in church again. But then they’ll go back to work at the Kennedy Space Center on Monday morning for another month of six-day weeks with weekend time off in between.
