It’s a struggle not to write or talk in NASA-speak, a bad habit picked up from years of intensive training. Even with the name I chose for this writing space, plain English must rule. Still, before the next post picks up where I left off, here is an aside on how we laughed at some of our obscure lingo in the early 1990s Shuttle program.

A “flow manager” was someone who managed the endless scheduling and tasks for launching a Space Shuttle.
