as flight directors, you are in charge of a lot of the operations, but do you ever get to experience handling controls or zero gravity simulation? do you have to know every aspect of everyone's job?

Hello! I am an avid lover of the cosmos and all things too grand for our minds to grasp. I was wondering, honestly, how do you cope with the pressure of your jobs, or say the scale of what is on your shoulders? It's quite an impressive thing you do, and it just gets me curious as to how you deal with the expectations that come with this type of job? Like, when you go home at night and eat your dinner, go to bed, do you have to practice mindfulness? Thanks for answering these! Love you guys!!!

If you’re hungry for more, you can read the latest installment of our First Woman graphic novel series, where fictional character Commander Callie Rodriguez embarks on the next phase of her trailblazing journey and leaves the Moon to take the helm at Mission Control.
