- Update: Chris Bergin (NASASpaceFlight.com) on Twitter: “SLS All-Hands meeting coming up. We expect the “Green Run” to REMAIN in the test flow. This also means the chances of SLS in 2020 are pretty much gone, but – as we’ve seen with the Commercial Crew testing – the Green Run (all four RS-25s firing on the core) is good for safety.”

He lead missions such as STS-95 (John Glenn’s Shuttle flight), STS-107, and the Twins Study with Scott and Mark Kelly. He retired from NASA in February 2018 and is now the Scientist in Resident at Space Center Houston.
