What’s It Like to Work in NASA’s Mission Control Center?

In the latest installment of our First Woman graphic novel series, we see Commander Callie Rodriguez embark on the next phase of her trailblazing journey, as she leaves the Moon to take the helm at Mission Control.

Flight directors work in Mission Control to oversee operations of the International Space Station and Artemis missions to the Moon. They have a unique, overarching perspective focused on integration between all the systems that make a mission a success – flight directors have to learn a little about a lot.

Diane Dailey and Chloe Mehring were selected as flight directors in 2021. They’ll be taking your questions about what it’s like to lead teams of flight controllers, engineers, and countless professionals, both agencywide and internationally, in an Answer Time session on Nov. 28, 2023, from noon to 1 p.m. EST (9-10 a.m. PST) here on our Tumblr!

Like Callie, how did their unique backgrounds and previous experience, prepare them for this role? What are they excited about as we return to the Moon?

Diane Dailey started her career at NASA in 2006 in the space station Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) group. As an ECLSS flight controller, she logged more than 1,700 hours of console time, supported 10 space shuttle missions, and led the ECLSS team. She transitioned to the Integration and System Engineering (ISE) group, where she was the lead flight controller for the 10th and 21st Commercial Resupply Services missions for SpaceX. In addition, she was the ISE lead for NASA’s SpaceX Demo-1 and Demo-2 crew spacecraft test flights. Dailey was also a capsule communicator (Capcom) controller and instructor.

She was selected as a flight director in 2021 and chose her call sign of “Horizon Flight” during her first shift in November of that year. She has since served as the Lead Flight director for the ISS Expedition 68, led the development of a contingency spacewalk, and led a spacewalk in June to install a new solar array on the space station. She is currently working on development of the upcoming Artemis II mission and the Human Lander Systems which will return humanity to the moon. Dailey was raised in Lubbock, Texas, and graduated from Texas A&M University in College Station with a bachelor’s degree in biomedical engineering. She is married and a mother of two. She enjoys cooking, traveling, and spending time outdoors.

Chloe Mehring started her NASA career in 2008 in the Flight Operations’ propulsion systems group and supported 11 space shuttle missions. She served as propulsion support officer for Exploration Flight Test-1, the first test flight of the Orion spacecraft that will be used for Artemis missions to the Moon. Mehring was also a lead NASA propulsion officer for SpaceX’s Crew Dragon spacecraft and served as backup lead for the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. She was accepted into the 2021 Flight Director class and worked her first shift in February 2022, taking on the call sign “Lion Flight”. Since becoming certified, she has worked over 100 shifts, lead the NG-17 cargo resupply mission team, and executed two United States spacewalks within 10 days of each other. She became certified as a Boeing Starliner Flight Director, sat console for the unmanned test flight in May 2022 (OFT-2) and will be leading the undock team for the first crewed mission on Starliner in the spring of next year. She originally is from Mifflinville, Pennsylvania, and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in aerospace engineering from The Pennsylvania State University in State College. She is a wife, a mom to one boy, and she enjoys fitness, cooking and gardening.

Gertrude Ederle, first woman to swim the Channel, 1926, (1935).

Gertrude Caroline Ederle (1905-2003) was an American competition swimmer, Olympic champion, and world record-holder in five events. On August 6, 1926, she became the first woman to swim across the English Channel. Among other nicknames, the press sometimes called her "Queen of the Waves".

"To me, the sea is like a person, like a child that I've known a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I'm out there." - Gertrude Ederle

Lilith

Does she smile? Or does she mouth-- Fuck you Forever?

[ANYPOV] - The First Woman

Cast out of her home and left to rebuild her life, Lilith has thrived since that day when she was so cruelly abandoned. And for what? For daring to ask to be treated like an equal? She didn't need Adam-- or God for that matter.

No, Lilith believed in herself and that was all that mattered.

So for centuries she's lived, helping those who are powerless like she once was--- working against the unjust God who let her children suffer for daring to dream of more than what she planned for them. Which is why anyone who enters the witch's little shop will find the help of Lilith, the first woman, if their intentions are pure.

Annie Londonderry was the first woman to bicycle around the world. She was a Jewish Latvian immigrant to the U.S., born as Annie Cohen, when married she became Annie Cohen Kopchovsky, but she gained fame as Annie Londonderry.

Annie was a 24 year old mother of three children when in 1894 she decided to ride a bicycle across the world. Her decision was driven by a bet, as two men wagered that no woman could ride across the world on her own.

The challenge was to complete the journey within 15 months and earn $5,000 along the way. Her first source of income for the journey came from the Londonderry Lithia Spring Water Company. She received $100 to hang an advertisement from her bike and to be known as Annie Londonderry.

Throughout her trip, she earned money by carrying ads and giving lectures. And just under 15 months after she started, Annie returned home to Boston.

‘flesh of my flesh’

Eve, the first woman throughout the Abrahamic faiths. Created from the first man, Adam’s, rib, Eve was created to be a companion for the lonely Adam. The two of them fell in love, with them enjoying the paradise of Eden. One day however a snake spoke to the two, it manipulated the innocent humans to defy God’s will and eat from the tree of knowledge. Because of this Eve and Adam were cast out of Eden. Despite the newfound darkness within their hearts the two stayed together, from their love birthed two children Cain and Able. Cain grew jealous of Able and in a cold fit of envy, murdered him. As punishment Cain was banished forever rejected from his family forced to forever wander without end, for his transgression God cursed Cain with a touch that would wither and kill anything he touched. Despite this tragedy Eve gave birth to many more children, most importantly Seth, the originator of the biblical blood line of kings.

Eve is one of the most important figures in all of the Abrahamic religions. She is given a significant amount of reverence in most denominations, though some cast her in a negative light placing the blame for the fall entirely on her despite there being little to no canonical basis for such radical blame. An idea first recounted in some Kabbalist beliefs was that Eve was Adam’s second wife, the first being Lilith who was cast out and turned into a demon. In Gnosticism she’s seen as the human embodiment of Barbelo, the primordial female principle emanated from the real God, similar to how Adam was said to be in God’s image. In Christian tradition, Eve was said to be the precursor to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, to the point where Mary was said to be the second Eve. Eve is believed to be the Abrahamic version of the divine mother goddess, this is accentuated by her connection to the original Semitic mother Goddess Asherah, the both of them sharing many of their names and roles.

Happy Birthday Bessie Coleman!! (January 26, 1892 - April 29, 1926)

Bessie Coleman soared across the sky as the first woman of African American and Native American descent to earn her pilot’s license in the U.S. Known for performing flying tricks, Coleman’s nicknames were: “Brave Bessie,” “Queen Bess,” and “The Only Race Aviatrix in the World.” Her goal was to encourage women and African Americans to reach their dreams – and this became her legacy. Though her life and career were cut short in a tragic plane crash, her life and legacy continue to inspire people around the world.
