These folks so have it together. The Space Shuttle is a flying brick designed in 1975 by the lowest bidder on a US Government contract...once they fire the engines for landing, this thing is coming down....period.
No pressure. Look at how calm all this is.
What you don't see here are the rest of the teams. Each person in this room has a bunch of people assigned to them. This room only holds the "lead controllers".
Personal soapbox. Yup, it looks easy. Nothing to it. Anyone can do it. It's all "automated". Why are we bothering? That's the general thinking until one of these antiquated, budget-gutted things lands "hard" (crashes).
