Inside Mission Control with Artemis-1 Flight Director Rick LaBrode

From NASA’s Artemis Mission Control Room in Houston, the flight control team has overall responsibility for flight operations from booster ignition to splashdown - including ascent, on-orbit operations, and reentry. The lead flight director for Artemis-1, Rick LaBrode, is responsible for building the mission timeline, developing procedures and flight rules that guide spacecraft operations, training the flight control teams, and carrying out the plan. LaBrode has worked in flight operations for more than 35 years, initially as an instrumentation and communications flight controller and then as a flight director for both the space station and the space shuttle.

This is great! I would have loved to have been in here when the Artemis rocket launched! Really exciting for me!

Great video and great interview, so sad that very few people are interested in all this, we’re talking about space exploration, to me there’s nothing more exciting, it’s just sad lot of people don’t care

Because it's fake.

See something change a color and ask a specialist? This guy has no clue what he is talking about. They have no live feeds? The simulations are indistinguishable from the "real missions". The flight control stations are nothing but a bunch of numbers. This dude is being fooled into watching simulations and transmissions from movie sets and believing its space exploration missions.
