QUESTION:
What was the longest time you sat and watched the satellite?

ANSWER from Lynn Foster Baassford on May 28, 1996:
Normally, a Flight Controller's shift is 8 to 12 hrs long. Our primary 
duty is to the spacecraft; therefore, we have to stay until a relief can 
be found.  My longest shift watching the satellite was 19 hrs one day
during my first year at HST. My longest time spent at work was in January
of this year when a snow blizzard hit the East Coast.  I stayed at work
for 3 days straight without a bed or shower.  I took turns with another
Shift Supervisor watching the satellite (& our crews).
