My Dad was one such person. An Environmental Control and Life Support Systems (ECLSS) Engineer. He supported every Space Shuttle mission from the first to the last, then was part of the team designing the life support systems for a new capsule known as CST-100.

Dad and I often talked about work. I found it interesting and often found humor in some of the crazy challenges in his work.

One of my favorite things was when I could get Dad to share silly space stories with friends of mine. Eventually, I decided it would be fun to record some of these conversations. Now I have the opportunity to share them with you.
